Ah ba ba doo doo doo bee doo doo

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 man cub

And stroll 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 -ou -ou

You'll see it's true -ue -ue an ape

Shoo bi do ki tu clow

Now don't try to kid me man cub

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

man cub come on clue me what to do

Give me the power of man's red flower

so I can be like you

You -ou -ou I wanna be like you -ou -ou

I wanna walk like you talk like you too

You'll see it's true -ue -ue

One more time

Can learn to be
