| 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
|
| 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, 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 you, too
|
