I wanna be like youNow I’m the king of the swingers,

The jungle V.I.P.

I’ve reached the top and had to stop

And that’s what’s botherin’ me.

I wanna be a man, man cub,

And stroll right into town,

And be just like the other men,

I’m tired of monkeyin’ ’round!

OhOoh, ooh, oh! (Ee ee)I wanna be like you, ooh, ooh! (Ee ee)I wanna walk like you,Talk like you, too, ooh, ooh! (Ee ee)

You’ll see it’s true, ooh, ooh! (Ee ee)An ape like me, ee, ee (Ooh ooh)Can learn to beHu-ooh-ooh-man too,Ooh, ooh (Ee ee)

Don’t try to kid me, man cubAnd don’t get in a stewWhat I desire is man’s red fire,So I can be like you.

Give me the secret man cub,Just clue me what to do,Give me the pow’r of man’s red flow’r,And make my dream come true!

Oh

Ooh, ooh, oh! (Ee ee)

I wanna be like you, ooh, ooh! (Ee ee)

I wanna walk like you,

Talk like you, too, ooh, ooh! (Ee ee)

You’ll see it’s true, ooh, ooh! (Ee ee)

An ape like me, ee, ee (Ooh ooh)

Can learn to be

Hu-ooh-ooh-man too,

Ooh, ooh (Ee ee)

You’ve got a friend in meYou’ve got a friend in me,You’ve got a friend in me.When the road looks rough ahead,And you’re miles and miles from your nicewarm bed,You just remember what your old pal said,Boy, you’ve got a friend in me.Yeah, you’ve got a friend in me.

You’ve got a friend in me,

You’ve got a friend in me,

You’ve got troubles, well I got ‘em too,

There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for you.

We’ll stick together and we’ll see it through,

Cause you’ve got a friend in me,

You’ve got a friend in me.

Some other folks might be a little bit smarter than Iam,Bigger and stronger too, maybe,But none of them will ever love you the way I do,It’s me and you, boy!

And as the years go byOur friendship will never die.You’re gonna see it’s our destiny;You’ve got a friend in me,You’ve got a friend in me,You’ve got a friend in me.

I’m a believerI thought love was only true in fairytales,Meant for someone else but not for me.Love was out to get me,That’s the way it seemed.Disappointment haunted all my dreams.

Then I saw her face, now I’m a believer.Not a trace of doubt in my mind.I’m in love (Part 2: mmm ah yeah!)I’m a believer!I couldn’t leave her if I tried.

I thought love was more or less a given thing,Seems the more I gave the less I got.What’s the use of trying?All you get is pain.When I needed sunshine I got rain.

Then I saw her face, now I’m a believer.Not a trace of doubt in my mind.I’m in love (Part 2: mmm ah yeah!)I’m a believer!I couldn’t leave her if I tried.

Love was out to get me,That’s the way it seems.Disappointment haunted all my dreams.

Then I saw her face, now I’m a believer.Not a trace of doubt in my mind.I’m in love (Part 2: mmm ah yeah!)I’m a believer!I couldn’t leave her if I tried.

Then I saw her face, now I’m a believer.Not a trace of doubt in my mind.Yeah, I’m a believer.Yeah, I’m a believer

Everybody needs somebodyEverybody needs somebodyEverybody needs somebody to love Someone to love (someone to love)Sweetheart to miss (sweetheart to miss)Sugar to kiss (sugar to kiss)

School Day BluesI woke up this morning

I had the blues 

I said to my Mamma 

I need an excuse 

I hate to get up 

My bed is just right 

I like to be cosy and snug in my bed 

Please pull the duvet back over my head 

Chorus:

I don’t wanna go to school 

I don’t wanna go to school 

Here I will stay

Eat chocolate all day 

I don’t wanna go to school

I want to lie in

The morning’s too bright 

School is so boring 

The kids they all fight 

The teachers are nasty 

They make me work

I like to be cosy and snug in my bed 

Please pull the duvet back over my head

 

Chorus:

I don’t wanna go to school 

I don’t wanna go to school 

Here I will stay

Eat chocolate all day 

I don’t wanna go to school

My mamma done told me

Get out of your bed 

And get those ideas 

Right out of your head 

I’ve made your breakfast 

You’ll eat it and go

I like to be cosy and snug in my bed 

Please pull the duvet back over my head

Chorus:

I don’t wanna go to school 

I don’t wanna go to school 

Here I will stay

Eat chocolate all day 

I don’t wanna go to school

My heart is was breakin’

I felt such a fool 

Cos I remembered 

That I loved my school 

My friends are all waitin’ 

We play our games

We laugh and we learn, we shout and we sing

An’ we are happy about everything

Chorus:

I just wanna go to school 

I just wanna go to school 

I wanna play,

With my mates every day 

I just wanna go to school
