Now, I'm the king of the swingers Ohhhh the jungle V.I.P.
I've reached the top and had to stop and that's what's botherin' me
I wanna be a man, mancub and stroll right into town
And be just like the other men. I'm tired of monkeyin' round!
Oh, oobee doo
I wanna be like you-oo-oo
I wanna walk like you
- --
Talk like you,
-- --
too-oo-oo
You'll see it's true-oo-oo
- -- --
An ape like me-ee-ee
Can learn to be
-- --
hu-oo-oo-man too-oo-oo
Don't try to kid me, mancub and don't get in a stew
What I desire is man's red fire so I can be like you
Give me the secret, mancub; Just clue me what to do
Give me the pow'r of man's red flow'r and make my dream come true
Oh, oobee doo
I wanna be like you-oo-oo
I wanna walk like you
- --
Talk like you,
-- --
too-oo-oo
You'll see it's true-oo-oo
- -- --
An ape like me-ee-ee
Can learn to be
-- --
hu-oo-oo-man too-oo-oo
I'll ape your mannerisms. We'll be a set of twins.
No one will know where mancub ends and orangutan begins
And when I eat bananas, I won't peel them with my feet.
Cause I'll become a man, mancub, and learn some "et-ti-keet"
Oh, oobee doo
I wanna be like you-oo-oo
I wanna walk like you
- --
Talk like you,
-- --
too-oo-oo
You'll see it's true-oo-oo
- -- --
An ape like me-ee-ee
Can learn to be
hu-oo-oo-man too-oo-oo
