《I Wanna Be Like You》

《I Wanna Be Like You》是非常喜欢的卡通片《The Jungle Book》中的一首插曲。一个月前，女儿小学最后一年的年级汇演也是改编自这个故事。全年级六十多个学生参加了演出。由于舞台狭小，场面多少有些零乱，但却不乏壮观。

女儿在剧中扮演的是一枝小花，尽管只是个静态角色，却因为有几句独唱台词而显得举足轻重。在众多学生中能得到这样一个角色已经很不容易了。女儿为此起早贪黑，排演月余，演出非常成功。
令人至今内疚和不安的是，演出完毕后，和女儿因为演出方面的评论产生了一些误解。今日又想起这首女儿，儿子都也很喜欢唱的歌，算是给自己提个醒吧。

Now I'm the king of the swingers
Oh, the jungle VIP
I've reached the top and had to stop
And that's what 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
You'll see it's true
An ape like me
Can learn to be humen too

( Gee, cousin Louie
You're doin' real good

Now here's your part of the deal, cuz
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 a deal with you
What 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

You!
I wanna be like you
I wanna talk like you
Walk 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
Can learn to be
Like someone like me!
