I'm the king of the swingers, 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 other men
I'm tired of monkeying around
Ooh-bi-doo, I wanna 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 like you, me too
Swing to the left, swing to the right,
put your hands up if you loving life
Can learn to be like you, me too
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's come true
Now 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
Ooh-bi-doo, I wanna be like you
I want to walk like you, talk like you, too
You see it's true, someone like me
Can learn to be like someone like me
Ooh-bi-doo, I wannna be like you
I want to walk like you, talk like you, too
You see it's true, someone like me
Can learn to be like someone like you
Can learn to be like someone like me
