I Wanna Be Like You Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Now I'm the king of the swingers,
the jungle VIP
[E]I've reached the top and had to stop,
and that's what's bothering [Am]me
I wanna be a man, man cub,
and stroll right into [E]town
And be just like the other men
I'm tired of monkeying [A]around[Am][G]
[C]Ooh, [Am]I wanna be like you
[A]I wanna wal[D]k like you[F],
[F#dim]talk like[F] you [G]too[F][C][Ebdim]
[D]You'll [G]see it's [C]true
[Am]An ape like me[A]
Can [D]learn to [F]be [D]hu[G]
[F]man [G]too[C][Am]
Now don't try to kid me, -cub,
and don't get me in a stew
[E]What I desire is man's red fire
so I can be like [Am]you
Now give me the secret, man -cub,
just clue me what to [E]do
Give me the power of man's red flower
and make my dreams come [Am]true
Now I will hate your mannerisms,
we'll be a set [E]of twins
No one will know where
Mancub ends
and Orangutan begin[Am]s
And when I eat bananas,
I won't feel them with my [E]feet
Cause I'll become a man, Mancub,
and learn some [A]etiquette
[G][Am][G][C]
[Am]I want to be like yo[A]u,
I [E]want to walk like [D]you,
jump [G]like [E]you [F]too,[Am][Ebdim]
[D]an d you'll [G]see it's [C]true,
[Am]an ape like me[A]
can [D]learn [Am]to b[F]e hu[D] m[F]an t[G]oo,
[C][Am]
[C]can[Am] lear[D]n to be [F]hu
[G]man too[C].[Am][C]
[Am]I wa[C]nt to be like [D]you,
I [G]want to [Em]be h[G]uman too
[C][Am][C]
