Now I'm the king of the swingers, oh, the jungle V.I.P
I reached the top and had to stop
And that's what's bothering me
I want to be a man, man-cub, and roll right into town
And be just like the other men
I'm tired of monkeying around
Oh
Ooh-bee-doo, I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you, talk like you, too
You see it's true, an ape like me
Can learn to be human too
ย
Now don't try to kid me, man-cub, I made a deal with you
What I desire is man's great fire to make my dream's come true
Now give me the secret, man-cub, ooh, clue me what to do
Give me the power of man's red flower so I can be like you
Oh
Ooh-bee-doo, I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you, talk like you, too
You see it's true, an ape like me
Can learn to be human too
ย
Now I'm the king of the swingers, oh, the jungle V.I.P
I reached the top and had to stop
And that's what bothering me
Oh
Ooh-bee-doo, I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you, talk like you, too
You see it's true, an ape like me
Can learn to be human too
Ooh-bee-doo, I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you, talk like humans do
