Lyrics

Wake up, wake up the sun is shining
No time left to lose
Waitin' up since half past five
While you've been hitting snooze

Show me how you brush your teeth
And help me tie my shoes
Let me drink your coffee
'Cause I wanna be like you

And I say, 'slow things down,
Ginger big man
Don't waste now
Be young while you can

What I wouldn't give to walk in your shoes
See every ray of sun the simple way you do
And you say, I want, I wanna be like you
I want, I wanna be like you, no
I want, I wanna be like you, child
I wanna be like you

Takin' up my break starin' at
Pictures that you drew
Can't wait to escape this jungle,
Back home to the zoo

Be my little man-cub and
I'll be your big Baloo
Give me your best bear hug
'Cause I wanna be like you

And you say, 'Don't stop now
Don't want this to end'
But every sun goes down
And rises again

What I wouldn't give to walk in your shoes
See every ray of sun the simple way you do
And you say, I want, I wanna be like you
I want, I wanna be like you, no
I want, I wanna be like you, child
I wanna be like you
