I Wanna Be Like You

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy Big Bad Voodoo Daddy

Now I'm the king of the swingers, boy
Jungle VIP
Well I've reached the top, and had to stop
And that's what's bothering me
I wanna be a man, a man cub
Stroll right into town
And be just like the other men
I'm tired of monkeying around

So woo-oh, I wanna be just like you
I wanna walk like you, talk like you do
You see it's true, an ape like me
Can learn to be human too, yeah

Now, don't you mess with me man-cub
I made a deal with you
What I desire is man's red fire
So I can be just like you
An' don't you mess with me man-cub
Tell me what to do
Give me the power of man's red flower
So I can be just like you
