  • 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 botherin' me. I wanna be a man, mancub, And stroll right into town, And be just like the other men, I'm tired of monkeyin' 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. Gee, cousin Louie, You're doin' real good. Now here's your part of the deal, cous, 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, mancub, I made a deal with you. Come on, You!

  • "I Wanna Be Like You" is a song sung by King Louie, Baloo and Mowgli from Walt Disney's 1967 film, The Jungle Book. The song was sung by Louis Prima and written by songwriters Robert and Richard Sherman. The lyrics tell about King Louie's wish to be a man and know how to make fire, possibly knowing that, with fire, the apes would rule the Jungle because all animals fear it including Shere Khan. Richard Sherman said he and his brother aimed for a jazz sound, with a Dixieland-like melody. The instrumentals were originally recorded by Prima - who also played the trumpet - and his band, Sam Butera & The Witnesses, but the music was replaced by one written by the film's composer, George Bruns, and orchestrated by Walter Sheets. The "scat dialogue" between Baloo and King Louie was the result of two recording sessions. Louis Prima recorded first, with the intent that Baloo - played in his recording by Butera - would simply repeat what Louie scatted, but Phil Harris decided not to imitate Prima's recording and made up his own. The song was released the same date as the motion picture itself.

You'll see it's true! Someone like me, Can learn to be, Like someone like me, (take me home daddy!) Can learn to be, Like someone like you, (one more time!) Yeah, can learn to be, Like someone like me!
