Now I'm the king of the swingers, boy, Jungle V.I.P. I've reached the top, and had to stop And that's what's bothering me I want to be a man, now man cub Stroll right into town And be just like the other men I'm tired of monkeying around So woowooooh, I want to be just like you I want to walk like you, talk like you do
You see it's true, an ape like me Can learn to be human too, yeah Now, don't you mess with me man-cub I made a deal with you What I desire is man's red fire So I can be just like you An' don't you mess with me man-cub Show me what to do Give me the power of man's red flower So I can be just like you
