Get with the beat buzzin' me
You better believe it they did the bup bup
("Colonel Hathi's March")
Hup two three four keep it up they did the bup bup
Somebody do something with that kid they did the bup bup
Hup two three four keep it up they did the bup bup
("I wanna be like you")
Now I'm the king of swingers
Oh
The jungle VIP
I've reached the top and had to stop
And that's what's botherin' me
I wanna be a man
Mancub
And stroll right into town
And be just like the other men
I'm tired of monkeyin' around
Oh
Oobee doo
I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you
Too

An ape like me
Can learn to be human
Too
Gee
Cousin Loui you're doin' real good
Now here's your part of he deal 'cause
Lay the secret on me of man's red fire
But I don't know how to make fire
Now don't try to kid me
Mancub
I made I desire is man's red fire
To make my dream come true
Give me the secret
Mancub
Clue me what to do
Give me the power of man's red
Flower
So I can be like you
("The bear necessities")
Look for the bear necessities
The simple bear necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bear necessities
Old mother nature's recipes
That bring the bear necessities of life
Wherever I wander wherever I roam
I couldn't be fonder of my big home
The bees are buzzin' in the tree
To make some honey just for me
When you look under the rocks and plants
And take a glance at the fancy ants
Then maybe try a few
The bear necessities of life
Will come to you
They'll come to you
Look for the bear necessities
The simple bear necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bear necessities
That's why a bear can rest at ease
With just the bear necessities of life
You
I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you
Too
You'll see it's true
Someone like me
Can learn to be
Like someone like me
Can learn to be
Like someone like you
One more time
Can learn to be
Like someone like me
