A-ba-ba-do-do-do-be-do

now I'm the king

of the swingers

oh, 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' around

Oh, ooh-bee-doo

I wanna be like

you-hoo-hoo

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, mancub

I made a deal with you

what I desire is man's red fire

to make my dream come true

Now give me the

secret, mancub

come on, clue me what to do

give me the power

of man's red flower

so I can be like you

Hey!

You-hoo-hoo

I wanna be like

you-hoo-hoo

I wanna walk like you

talk like you, too

You'll see it's true

someone like me

can learn to be

like someone like me

Can learn to be

like someone like you

can learn to be

like someone like me...
