Now I'm the king of the swingers oh
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 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
