“I Wanna Be Like You II” is a remix of the original tune from Disney’s 1967 animated film The Jungle Book which prompts listeners to follow along the song with certain movements. It includes four new verses for King Louie, Kaa, Colonel Hathi, and Baloo.
[Verse 1: King Louie]
Now, I'm the king of the swingers
Oh, the jungle VIP
King Louie's the name
My claim to fame
Nobody can swing like me
But follow my directions
And in a little while
If you hunch down low
And let yourself go
You'll learn my jungle style
[Pre-Chorus: King Louie]
Hang your arms loose, just like an ape
Now swing your caboose
You're getting in shape
[Chorus: Disney Studio Chorus]
Ooo, ooo, ooo, I wanna be like you-ooo-ooo
I wanna walk you, talk like you too-ooo-ooo
You'll see it's true-ooo-ooo
Someone like mee-ee-ee
Can learn to be like someone like you-ooo-ooo
[Verse 2: Kaa]
My name is Kaa, the python
I slink and slip and slide
I strеtch out on my stomach
And slither on my side
I'm supple, sleek and slеnder
Sensational to see
So just get wise
And slenderize
And soon you'll slink like me
[Pre-Chorus: Kaa]
Now, slither down on your stomach and stretch
That's simply super
[Chorus: Disney Studio Chorus]
Ooo, ooo, ooo, I wanna be like you-ooo-ooo
I wanna glide like you, slide like you too-ooo-ooo
You'll see it's true-ooo-ooo
Someone like mee-ee-ee
Can learn to be like someone like you-ooo-ooo
[Verse 3: Colonel Hathi]
They call me Colonel Hathi
Because they understand
The fittest pack of pachyderms
Is under my command
We drill from dawn 'til sunset
We never want to quit
And that is why my troops and I
Keep vigorous and fit
[Pre-Chorus: Colonel Hathi]
Now, march two, three, four
Keep it up, two, three, four
Very good, two, three, four
For a small elephant, of course
[Chorus: Disney Studio Chorus]
Ooo, ooo, ooo, I wanna be like you-ooo-ooo
I wanna walk you, talk like you, too-ooo-ooo
You'll see it's true-ooo-ooo
Someone like mee-ee-ee
Can learn to be like someone like you-ooo-ooo
[Verse 4: Baloo]
I'm rugged, rough and ready
Yeah, you guessed it, I'm Baloo
Beyond compare, the greatest bear
The jungle ever knew
I'm laid-back, loose and limber
But I'm ready, come what may
'Cause to fight the flab
I punch and jab
And shadowbox all day
[Pre-Chorus: Baloo]
Now, put 'em up, ok, give me a left
Now, give me a right, yeah
Now, give me an uppercut
Wow, that was a lollapalooza
You're one swell bear
[Chorus: Disney Studio Chorus, Baloo]
Ooo, ooo, ooo, I wanna be like you-ooo-ooo (Zib-a-doo-babadaba, Rib-a-dib-a-dib-a-do)
I wanna walk you, talk like you, too-ooo-ooo (Ooo, oh)
You'll see it's true-ooo-ooo (Brrr)
Someone like mee-ee-ee (Hey baby-aby-daby-doo)
Can learn to be like someone like you
One more time
Can learn to be like someone like you
Take me home daddy
King Louie, Kaa and Hathi and Baloo
Ooo, yeah
[Outro: Colonel Hathi]
Hup two, three, four
Keep it up two, three, four
