[Verse 1]
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 botherin' me
I wanna be a man, mancub, yeah
And stroll right into town
And be just like the other men
I'm tired of monkeyin' around

[Chorus]
Oh, ooh-bee-doo
I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you too
You'll see it's true
An ape like me
Can learn to be human too

[Verse 2]
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
Give me the secret, mancub
Clue me in what to do
Give me the power of man's red flower
So I can be like you
[Chorus]
Oh, ooh-bee-doo
I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you too
You'll see it's true
An ape like me
Can learn to be human too
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
Woo

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Oh, ooh-bee-doo
I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you too, yeah

[Chorus]
Oh, ooh-bee-doo
I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you too
You'll see it's true
An ape like me
Can learn to be human too
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, yeah
