Now I'm the king of the swingers

Oh, the jungle VI P,

I've reached the top and had to stop

And that's what botherin' me.

I wanna be a man, mancub,

And stroll right into town

And be just like the other men

I'm tired of monkeyin' a-round!

Oh, oo-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.

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 what to do

Give me the power of man's red flower

So I can be like you.

Oh, oo-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.
