I Wan’na Be Like You The Bridge City Sinners

I'm the king of the swingers
The jungle VIP
I've reached the top and had to stop
And that's what botherin' me

I wanna be a man, mancub
Stroll right into town
I'm tired of being an ape, man
I'm tired of monkeyin' around

Oh, oobeedoo
I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you
And talk like you, too

Let's say it's true
That an ape like me
Can learn to be human, too

Now don't try to kid me, mancub
I made a deal with you
What I desire is man's red fire
To make my dream come true

Give me that secrеt, mancub
Clue me what to do
Give mе the power of man's red flower
So I can be like you
