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's bothering me
(that's what's bothering me)

I wanna be a man, mancub yeah
And stroll right into town
I wanna be just like the other men
I'm tired of monkeyin' around

Oh ooo be doo
I wanna be like you-u-u
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you too-o-o
You see it's true
An ape like me
Can learn to be human too

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 a secret mancub
Clue me in what to do
Give me the power of man's red flower
So I can be like you

Oh ooo be doo
I wanna be like you-u-u
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you too-o-o
You see it's true
An ape like me
Can learn to be human too
Yeah yeah oh
Woo!

Oh ooo be doo
I wanna be like you-u-u
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you too-o-o, yeah

Oh ooo be doo
I wanna be like you-u-u
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you too-o-o
You see it's true
An ape like me
Can learn to be human too
Yeah yeah ooohhhh yeahhhhh
