Abop pa dip dip dipetu
Now I'm the king of the swingers
Oh
The jungle V I P
I've reached the top and had to stop
And that's what's bothering me
I wanna be a man, mancub
And stroll right into town
And be just like the other men
I'm tired of monkin' around!
Oh, Oobee doo (hoopdeewee)
I wanna be like yoo-hoo-hoo
(Hapdeedoobydoowop)
I wanna walk like you (Cheep)
Talk like you (cheep), Tchoo-oo-o
(Weebydeebydeewoo) You'll see it's true
(Shoobedeedoo) An Ape like mee-ee-e (Scoobeedoobeedoobeep)
Can learn to be
Huu-uu-uuman too-oo-oo!

(Gee cousin Louie you're doin real good!)
(Now here is your part of the deal cous.)
(Lay the secret on me, of mans 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 mans red fire
To make my dream come true
Now give me the secret, mancub
C'mon, clue me what to do
Give me the power of mans red flower
So I can be like you
(Fire!? So that's what that scoundrel is after.)
(I'll tear him limb from limb, I'll beat him I'll...)
(Mmmh.yeah. well man what a beat)
(Will you stop that silly beat buisness and listen?)
(This will take brains not brawn)
(You'd better believe it and I'm loaded with both)
(Would you listen?)
