Now I'm the king of the swingers 
Oh, the jungle VIP 
I've reached the top and had to stop 
And that's what bothering me 
I wanna be a man, mancub 
And stroll right into town 
And be just like the other men 
I'm tired of monkeying around! 

Oh, oobee doo 
I wanna be like you 
I wanna walk like you 
Talk like you, too 
You'll see it's true 
And leap like me 
You can learn to be a human too 

Now don't try to kid me, mancub 
I made a deal with you 
What I desire is man's red fire 
To make my dream come true 
Give me the secret, mancub 
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 
And leap like me 
You can learn to be a human too 

Oh, oobee doo 
I wanna be like you 
I wanna walk like you 
Talk like you, too 
Oh, oobee doo 
I wanna be like you 
I wanna walk like you 
Talk like you, too 
You'll see it's true 
And leap like me 
You can learn to be a human too
