Now I'm the king of the swingers, 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, man-cub, and stroll right into town
And be just like the other men, I'm tired of monkeyin' 'round, oh
Chorus
Ooh, ooh, ooh, I wanna be like you ooh ooh
I wanna walk like you, talk like you too, ooh, ooh
You'll see it's true ooh, ooh, an ape like me, ee, ee
Can learn to be hu-ooh-ooh-man too, ooh, ooh
Don't try to kid me man-cub 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 man-cub, just clue me what to do
Give me the pow'r of man's red flow'r and make my dreams come true
Chorus
I like your mannerisms, we'll be a set of twins
No one will know where man-cub ends and orangutan begins
And when I eat bananas, I won't peel them with my feet
'Cause I'll become a man-cub and learn some etti - keet.
Chorus
shift gears
