    The song "I Wanna Be Like You" from The Jungle Book expresses the desire of an orangutan to be like a human man. In three verses and a chorus, the orangutan sings about wanting to walk, talk, and act like a human so he can enter towns and no longer be seen as just a "monkey". He asks the man to teach him the secret to becoming human so his dreams of being like a man can come true.

    I Wanna Be Like You

    Jungle Book

    Am E7
    Now I'm the king of the swingers, the jungle V. I. P.

    Am
    I've reached the top and had to stop and that's what's botherin' me
    E7
    I wanna be a man, man-cub, and stroll right into town

    Am G7
    And be just like the other men, I'm tired of monkeyin' 'round, oh

    CHORUS:

    C A7
    Ooh, ooh, ooh, I wanna be like you ooh ooh
    D7 G7 C A7 Dm7
    I wanna walk like you, talk like you too, ooh, ooh
    G7 C A7
    You'll see it's true ooh, ooh, an ape like me, ee, ee
    D7 G7 C A7 D7
    G7
    Can learn to be hu-ooh-ooh-man too, ooh, ooh

    Don't try to kid me man-cub and don't get in a stew


    What I desire is man's red fire so I can be like you
    Give me the secret man-cub, just clue me what to do
    Give me the pow'r of man's red flow'r and make my dreams come true

    CHORUS

    I like your mannerisms, we'll be a set of twins


    No one will know where man-cub ends and orangutan begins
    And when I eat bananas, I won't peel them with my feet
    'Cause I'll become a man-cub and learn some etti - keet.

    CHORUS

    shift gears
    CHORUS
