Am                                              E7
Now I'm the king of the swingers oh the jungle V.I.P
E7                                                    Am
I reached the top and had to stop and that's what's bothering me
Am                                                E7
I want to be a man, man-cub, and stroll right into town
E7                                                    Am
And be just like those other men I'm tired of monkeying around

G7  C                     A7 - Em7 -- A7
Ooh-bi-doo, I wan'na be like you
        D7        -           G7          C -- A7 -- Dm -- G7
I wanna walk like you, talk like you, too
G7       C                        A7 - Em7 -- A7
You see it's true, an ape like me
  D7              G7                  C
Can learn to be ooh hoo ooh man too ooh ooh

Am                                              E7
Now don't try to kid me, man-cub, I'll make a deal with you
E7                                                    Am
What I desire is man's red fire to make my dreams come true
Am                                              E7
So give me the secret, man-cub, clue me what to do
E7                                                    Am
Give me the power of man's red flower so I can be like you

G7  C                      A7 - Em7 -- A7
Ooh-bi-doo, I wan'na be like you
        D7                   G7         C -- A7 -- Dm -- G7
I wanna walk like you, talk like you, too
G7       C                        A7 - Em7 -- A7
You see it's true, an ape like me
  D7              G7                 C          (G7 retour)
Can learn to be ooh hoo ooh man too ooh ooh
