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
I want to be a man, man-cub, and stroll right into town
And be just like those other men
I'm tired of monkeying around
Ooh-bi-doo, I wan'na be like you
I want to walk like you, talk like you, too
You'll see it's true, an ape like me
Can learn to be human, too
C'mon
Now here's your part of the deal, cub
Lay the secret on me
Of man's red fire
(I don't know how to make fire)
Now don't try to kid me, man-cub, I made deal with you
What I desire is man's red fire to make my dreams come true
So give me the secret, man-cub, clue me what to do
Give me the power of man's red flower so I can be like you, yeah
Ooh-bi-doo, I wan'na be like you
I want to walk like you, talk like you, too
You'll see it's true, an ape like me
Can learn to be human, too, yeah
C'mon
C'mon
Get mad, baby
Ooh-bi-doo, I wan'na be like you
I want to walk like you, talk like you, too
You'll see it's true, yeah, an ape like me, yeah
Can learn to be like someone like me
Can learn to be like someone like you
Can learn to be like someone like that
