i wan na be like you the monkey song

Los Lobos

Now I m the king of the swingers world
The jungle be I be
I reach the top and have to stop
And that s what s a bother to me

I wan na be a man, a man cub
And stroll right into town
And be just like the other men
I m tired of humping around

So, ooh, I wan na be just like you
I wan na walk like you
Talk like you too
You 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

Give me the secret man cub
Just clue me what to do
Give me the power of man s red flower
So I can be like you

So, ooh, I wan na be just like you
I wan na walk like you
Talk like you too
You see it s true
An ape like me
Can learn to be human too
You see it s true
An ape like me
Can learn to be human too
