Can you hear it?
Yeah, man.

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 bothering me
I wanna be a man, man-cub
And stroll right into town
And be just like the other men
I'm tired of monkeying around!

Oh, oobee doo I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you, too
You'll 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
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

Oh, oobee doo
I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you, too
You'll see it's true
An ape like me
Can learn to be human too

Hey, check this out!
Can you hear it?

Yeah, yeah.
Hit it, papa bear!

Yeah you
I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you, too
You'll see it's true
Someone like me
Can learn to be someone like me
Can learn to be someone like you
Can learn to be someone like me

Yeah, man!

Este vídeo está basado en el fragmento de la película "El Libro de la Selva" en donde "King Louie" (el rey Luís) canta la canción del mono: "I wanna be like you" (quiero ser como tú). La versión que aquí presentamos es una versión moderna de la canción de Walt Disney.

La palabra "man-cub", inventada en esta canción, significa literalmente "cachorro de hombre", o sea, "niño".
