Louis Prima - I Wanna Be Like You (The Monkey Song)

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's been botherin'me.

I wanna be a man, man cub and stroll right into town

and be just like other men.

I'm tired of monkeyin'around.

oh,woo-be-doo (oop-dee-wee)

I wanna be like you. (hop-dee-doo-bee-do-bow)

I wanna walk like you. (cheep)

talk like you (cheep)

too~~ (Wee-bee-dee-bee-dee-doo)

You see it's true (shoo-be-dee-doo)

An ape like me (scooby-doo-bee-doo-bee)

can learn to be human,too.



(Gee, cousin Louie. You're doin'real good.)

(Now here's your part of the deal, cuz

Lay the secret on me of man's red fire.)

(But, I don't know how to make fire)



Now, don't try to kid me, man cud.

I made a deal with you.

What I desire is man's red fire to make me 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.
