歌詞
[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's bothering me
I wanna be a man, man cub, and stroll right into town
And be just like the other men, I'm tired of monkeying around
[Verse 2]
Oh, ooh bee doo, I wanna be like you
Come to walk like you, talk like you, too
You see it's true, an ape like me
Can learn to be human, too
[Verse 3]
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 dreams come true
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
[Verse 4]
Oh, you, I wanna be like you
Want to walk like you, talk like you, too
You see it's true, someone like me
Can learn to be like someone like me
[Verse 5]
You, I wanna be like you
Want to talk like you
Walk like you, too
[Verse 6]
You see it's true, someone like me
Can learn to be like someone like you
Can learn to be like someone like you
