I Wanna Be Like You

Smash Mouth

(Can you hear it?

Yeah, man!

Yeah.... man!)



Now I'm the king of the swingers, Oh,

the jungle VIP

I've reached the top and had to stop

And that's what botherin' me

I wanna be a man, man-cub

And stroll right into town

And be just like the other men

I'm tired of monkeyin' around!



Oh, oobee doo

I wanna be like you

I wanna walk like you

Talk like you, too

You'll see it's true

An ape like me

Can learn to be, human too



Now don't try to kid me, man-cub

I made a deal with you

What I desire is man's red fire

To make my dream come true

Now, give me the secret, man-cub

Come on, clue me what to do

Give me the power of man's red flower

So I can be like you.



Oh, oobee doo

I wanna be like you

I wanna walk like you

Talk like you, too

You'll see it's true

An ape like me

Can learn to be, human too



(Check this out.

Can you hear it?

Yeah...

Hit it, Papa Bear!)



Yeah you!

I wanna be like you

I wanna walk like you

Talk like you, too

You'll see it's true

Someone like me

Can learn to be

Someone like me

I can learn to be

Someone like you

I can learn to be

Someone like me!



(Yeah, man!)
