I Wan'na Be Like You (The Monkey Song) Songtext

von Fall Out Boy

Now I'm the king of the swingers, the jungle V.I.P
I reached the top and had to stop
And that's what bothering me
I want to be a man, man-cub, and stroll right into town
And be just like those other men
I'm tired of monkeying around
Ooh-bi-doo, I wan'na be like you
I wanna walk like you, talk like you, too
You see it's true, an ape like me
Can learn to be human, too

Now don't try to kid me, man-cub, I made a deal with you
What I desire is man's red fire to make my dream's come true
So give me the secret, man-cub, clue me what to do
Give me the power of man's red flower so I can be like you

Ooh-bi-doo, I wan'na be like you
I wanna walk like you, talk like you, too
You see it's true, an ape like me
Can learn to be human, too

Now here's your part of the deal cause,
Place the the secret on me, of men's red fire
Yo-ho-ho, I wan'na be like you
I wanna walk like you, talk like you, too

You see it's true, an ape like me
Can learn to be human, too
Ooh-bi-doo, I wan'na be like you
I wanna walk, I wanna walk and talk like you
You see it's true, true, an ape like me
Can learn to be human, too
