| 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 |
