I Wan'na Be Like You Chords

By Richard M. Sherman And Robert B. Sherman


     Am                                                E7
Now, I'm the king of the swingers Ohhhh 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, mancub and stroll right into town
                                                      Am  - G7 -
And be just like the other men. I'm tired of monkeyin' round!


    C
Oh, oobee doo
                A7
I wanna be like you-oo-oo
        D7    -
I wanna walk like you
G7   -         C --
Talk like you, 
  A7 -- Dm -- G7

                C

            A7   -  Em7 -- A7 --

Can learn to be 
G7           C      D7 -- E7 --
hu-oo-oo-man too-oo-oo


      Am                                       E7
Don't try to kid me, mancub and don't get in a stew
                                                 Am
What I desire is man's red fire so I can be like you
                                                 E7
Give me the secret, mancub; Just clue me what to do
                                                             Am - G7
Give me the pow'r of man's red flow'r and make my dream come true

     Am                                     E7
I'll ape your mannerisms. We'll be a set of twins.
                                                    Am
No one will know where mancub ends and orangutan begins
                                                  E7
And when I eat bananas, I won't peel them with my feet.
                                                        Am - G7
Cause I'll become a man, mancub, and learn some "et-ti-keet"
