Now I'm the king of the swingers
Oh, the jungle V.I.P
I've reached the top and had the stop
And that's what botherin' me
I wanna be a man, manclub
And stroll right into town
And be just like the other men
I'm tried of monkeyin' around
Oh, oobee 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, manclub
I made a deal with you
What I desire is man's red fire
To make my dreams come true
Give me the secret, manclub
Clue me what to do
Give me the power of man's red flower
So I can be like you
Oh, oobee 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
Oh, the jungle V.I.P
I've reached the top and had the stop
And that's what botherin' me
I wanna be a man, manclub
And stroll right into town
And be just like the other men
I'm tried of monkeyin' around
Oh, oobee 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, manclub
I made a deal with you
What I desire is man's red fire
To make my dreams come true
Give me the secret, manclub
Clue me what to do
Give me the power of man's red flower
So I can be like you
Oh, oobee 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
