Now (Am)I'm the king of the swingers, Oh the jungle V.I.P(E7)
I reached the top and had to stop
And that's what bothering (Am)me
I want to be a man, man-cub, and stroll right into (E7)town
And be just like those other men
I'm tired of monkeying (Am)around
(G)Ooh-(C)oobeedoo, I wan'na be like (A7)you
I want to (D7)walk like you, (G)talk like you, (C)too (G)
You see it's (C)true, an ape like (A7)me
Can (D7)learn to be (G)human (C)too
Now (Am)don’t try to kid me, man-cub, I made a deal with (E7)you
What I desire is man's red fire to make my dreams come (Am)true
So give me the secret, man-cub, clue me what to (E7)do
Give me the power of man's red flower so I can be like (Am)you(G)
(C)you-u-u I wan'na be like (A7)you-oo-oo
I want to (D7)walk like you, (G)talk like you, (C)too(G7)
You see it's (C)true, someone like (A7)me
Can (D7)learn to be (G)like someone like me, (C)(A7)
Can (D7)learn to be (G)like someone like (C)you (A7)
Can (D7)learn to be (G)like someone like (C)me
