Los Lobos - I Wan'na Be Like You Lyrics
Now I'm the king of the swingers' world
The jungle VIP
I've reached the top and had to stop
And that's what's a-botherin' me
And stroll right into town
And be just like the other men
I'm tired of monkeying around
So, ooh-ooh-ooh, I wanna be just like you
I wanna 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, man cub
I made a deal with you
What I desire is man's red fire
To make my dream come true
Give me the secret, man cub
Just clue me what to do
Give me the power of man's red flower
So I can be like you
So, ooh-ooh-ooh, I wanna be just like you
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you, too
You'll see it's true
An ape like me
Can learn to be human, too
You see it's true
An ape like me
Can learn to be human, too, oh yeah
Oh yeah

Love this album! Thank you for posting it; there are some tracks missing tho, but it's ok...reminds me of those good old times :-)
Thanks for this post! A Classic!
Fun and great. Captures the essence of the song (also known as the Monkey Song). Louis Prima, the writer and original performer (singer and trumpet), would be very proud.
I met Louis Prima Jr, but I forgot to ask his opinion.
This album was the CD I listened to when I was younger to fall asleep. Looking back it has really creepy music and probably accounted to part of my personality later in life, but I still love it. Just listening to this makes me super tired
U mean like Tom Wait's dark subterranean 'Dwarve's Work Song?
Never get tired of hearing this. Now there are three main versions and I like them all.
Love that dirty, smoking bariton sax solo... hah!
the song "Little April Shower" should come right before the song, "I Wan'na Be Like You" but it's missing
All the songs are connected. So no matter what you post, you're going to have fade-ins and fade-outs.

absolutely scorching Disney track by the great Los Lobos from one of my All-time Desert island Discs... brilliant!
The best version of this song in my opinion. Los Lobos is such a great, talented band!
Perfect version ! Thanks for sharing.
Excellent version, with the Latin touch. Thanks for sharing!
