I wanna be like you

Woodward Lucy

Now I'm the king of the swingers, the jungle V.I.P 
I reached the top and had to stop 
And that's what bothering me 
I want to be a man, man-cub, and stroll right into town 
And be just like those other men 
I'm tired of monkeying around 
Now don't try to kid me, man-cub, I'll make a deal with you 
What I desire is man's red fire to make my dreams come true 
So give me the secret, man-cub, clue me what to do 
Give me the power of man's red flower so I can be like you 

Ooh-bi-doo, I wan'na be like you 
I want to walk like you, talk like you, too 
You see it's true, an ape like me 
Can learn to be like you, too 

Now don't try to kid me, man-cub, I made a deal with you

So give me the secret, man-cub, clue me what to do 
Give me the power of man's red flower so I can be like you 

Ooh-bi-doo, I wan'na be like you 
I want to walk like you, talk like you, too 
You see it's true, an ape like me 
Can learn to be like you, too 

Break it down boys, break it down boys, break it down 
Break it down boys, break it down boys, break it down

You see it's true, an ape like me 
Can learn to be like you, too 

Can learn to be someone like me
