I Wan’na Be Like You - UB40

Now I’m the king of the swingers

Oh, the jungle V-I-P

I’ve reached the top and had to stop

And that’s what bothering me

I wan’na be a man, mancub

And stroll right into town

And be just like the other men

I’m tired of monkeying around

Oh, ooh, bee, doo, I wan’na be like you

I wan’na walk like you, talk like you too

You’ll see it’s true, an ape like me

Can learn to be human too

Now don’t try to kid me, mancub

I made a deal with you

What I desire is man’s red fire

To make my dream come true

Give me the secret, mancub

Come on, clue me what to do

Give me the power of man’s red flower

So I can be like you

Oh, ooh, bee, doo, I wan’na be like you

I wan’na walk like you, talk like you too

You’ll see it’s true, someone like me

Can learn to be like someone like you

Can learn to be like someone like you

Can learn to be like someone like you
