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 wanna be a man, a man cub stroll right into town

and be just like the other men I'm tired of monkeying around



Chorus:

So woowooooh, I wanna be just like you

I wanna 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

Tell me what to do give me the bar of man's red fire

so I can be just like you
