[Verse 1]
Em
Now I’m the king of swingers, oh
B
The Jungle V.I.P
I’ve reached the top and had to stop
Em
And that’s what’s bothering me
I wanna be a man, man-cub,
B
And stroll right into town
And be just like those other men
Em D
I’m tired of monkeying around, oh,
[Chorus]
G E
Ooh-bi-doo, I wanna be like you
A D G
I wanna walk like you, talk like you, too
E D
You see it’s true, an ape like me
A D G E D
Can learn to be human, too

Em
Now don’t try to kid me, man-cub,
B
I’ll make a deal with you
What I desire is man’s red fire
Em
to make my dreams come true
So give me the secret, man-cub,
B
clue me what to do
Give me the power of man’s red flower
Em D
so I can be like you, oh
[Chorus]
