Now I'm the king of the swingers oh

The jungle VIP

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 the 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 see it's true, an ape like me

Can learn to be human too

Now don't try to kid me, man-cub

I'll make a deal with you

What I desire is man's red fire

To make my dreams come true

Now give me the secret, man-cub

C'mon clue me what to do

Give me the power of man's red flower

So I can be like you

You-ou-ou (yes you), I wan'na be like you (oh like you)

I want to walk like you, talk like you, too

You see it's true (you see it's true)

Someone like me (someone like me, yeah)

Can learn to be like someone like you

Like who? (Someone lik you my man)

Can learn to be like someone like you (yeah thank you babe)

Learn to be like someone like you

Learn to be like someone like you

Learn to be like someone like you
