Lyrics
Now I'm the king of the swingers, the jungle V.I.P I reached the top and had to stop And that's what bothering me I want to be a man, man-cub, and stroll right into town And be just like those other men I'm tired of monkeying around Now don't try to kid me, man-cub, I'll make a deal with you What I desire is man's red fire to make my dreams come true So give me the secret, man-cub, clue me what to do Give me the power of man's red flower so I can be like you Ooh-bi-doo, I wan'na be like you I want to walk like you, talk like you, too You see it's true, an ape like me Can learn to be like you, too Now don't try to kid me, man-cub, I made a deal with you What I desire is man's red fire to make my dream's come true So give me the secret, man-cub, clue me what to do Give me the power of man's red flower so I can be like you Ooh-bi-doo, I wan'na be like you I want to walk like you, talk like you, too You see it's true, an ape like me Can learn to be like you, too Break it down boys, break it down boys, break it down Break it down boys, break it down boys, break it down Now I'm the king of the swingers, the jungle V.I.P. I reached the top and had to stop And that's what bothering me I want to be a man, man-cub, and stroll right into town And be just like those other men I'm tired of monkeying around Ooh-bi-doo, I wan'na be like you I want to walk like you, talk like you, too You see it's true, an ape like me Can learn to be like you, too Can learn to be someone like me
