[Verse 1] 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 botherin' me I wanna be a man, mancub and stroll right into town And be just like those other men, I'm tired of monkeyin' around [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 So give me the secret, mancub, hey clue me what to do Give me the power of man's red flower so I can be like you [Chorus] 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, yeah [Bridge] Now here's your part of the deal, cuz Lay the secret on me of man's red fire You, 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 [Outro Chorus] Oh, oobee doo, I wanna be like you I wanna walk, I wanna walk, I wanna walk and talk like you You'll see it's true An ape like me Can learn to be human too
