When I was a tyke... Saturday mornings were very special....waking up, no school...with Roy Rogers, Davy Crockett, Robin Hood, Sky King, Tarzan and Sea Hunt to name a few keeping me company in my PJ's. Long since gone heroes remembered..but DAD was always at the top of the list...worth a song methinks.

I wanna be like you

I wanna be like you
Do all the things you do
Here’s the reason why you caught my eye
I wanna be like you
I wanna understand
I'm learning second hand
The way you make it look it’s like you wrote the book
I wanna be like you
Every time - I see you round - all I think - is whats he found today
Hey hey hey
Episodes teaching me all the ways I wanna be someday
Hey hey hey
I follow where you walk
I listen when you talk
You always found the time when it was on the line
I wanna be like you
(instrumental)
The funny thing - as I recall - you were always - ten feet tall - in spades
Hey hey hey
Looking through - delighted eyes - everything is oversized - that way
Hey hey hey
I'd like to hear you say, you'll come back someday
But till we meet again up around the bend
I wanna be like you
I wanna be like you
Do all the things you do
Here's the reason why I'll give it one more try
I wanna be like you
I wanna be like you ~ ooh ooh
I wanna be like you ~ ooh ooh
I wanna be like you ~ ooh ooh
