I WANNA BE LIKE YOU


Am
Now I'm the king of the swingers

Am             E7
Oh, the jungle VIP

E7
I've reached the top and had to stop

E7                       Am
And that's what botherin' me

 Am
I wanna be a man, mancub

                      E7
And stroll right into town

E7
And be just like the other men

                       Am      G7
I'm tired of monkeyin' around, Oh!   




C
Obee doo

C               A7
I wanna be like you

        D7
I wanna walk like you

 G7             C   G7
Talk like you, too   

                C
You'll see it's true

            A7
An ape like me

     D7         G7    C    E7
Can learn to be humen too, Oh.. 




Am
Now don't try to kid me, mancub

                   E7
I made a deal with you


What I desire is man's red fire

                       Am
To make my dream come true

Am
Give me the secret, mancub

                E7
Clue me what to do


Give me the power of man's red flower

                 Am   G7
So I can be like you, oh!     




C
oobee doo

A7      D7
I wanna walk like you

 G7             C    G7
Talk like you, too     

                C
You'll see it's true

            A7
An ape like me

     D7         G7    C    E7
Can learn to be humen too   




Am
I like your mannerisms,

                   E7
we'll be a set of twins


No one will know where man-cub ends

                  Am
and orangutan begins


And when I eat bananas, 

                          E7
I won't peel them with my feet


'Cause I'll become a man-cub 

                      Am    G7
and learn some etti - keet. Oh!

Walk like you, too    

                C
You'll see it's true 

            A7
An ape like me

     D7         G7    C
Can learn to be humen too
