Now 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 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 see it's true,
An ape like me
Can learn to be human too
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
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
So give me the secret, man-cub, Cmon
Clue me what to do
Give me the power of man's red flower So I can be like you
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 like human too
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
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
Can learn to be human too
Can learn to be human too
