Lyrics
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
I wanna be a man, mancub
And stroll right into town
And be just like the other men
I'm tired of monkeying around
Oh, oobee doo (Oop dee wee)
I wanna be like you (Hop dee oobee doo bow)
I wanna walk like you (Cheep)
Talk like you, too (Cheep cheep)
You'll see it's true (Shoo be doo doo)
An ape like me (Scooby dooby dooby)
Can learn to be human, too
Gee, cousin Louie, you're doing 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
Now, give me the secret, mancub
Come on, clue me what to do
Give me the power of man's red flower
So I can be like you
You (Oop dee wee)
I wanna be like you (Hop dee oobee doo bow)
I wanna walk like you (Cheep)
Talk like you, too (Cheep cheep)
You'll see it's true (Shoo be doo doo)
Someone like me (Scooby dooby dooby)
Can learn to be like someone like me
Take me home, daddy
Can learn to be like someone like you
One more time
Yeah, can learn to be like someone like me
