Songwriters: Sherman, Richard M; Sherman, Robert B;
And now I'm the king of the swingers
Oh, the jungle V.I.P
I've reached the top and had to stop
And that's what bothering me
I want to be a man, man cub
And stroll right into town
And be just like those other men
I'm tired of monkeying around
Ooh, ooh
Now don't try to kid me, man cub
I'll make a deal with you
What I desire is man's red fire
To make my dreams come true
So 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
Oh, ooh, bi, doo, I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you, talk like you, too
You see it's true, an ape like me
Can learn to be human too
Now 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
So 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
Oh, ooh, bi, doo, I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you, talk like you, too
You see it's true, an ape like me
Can learn to be human too
Break it down boys, break it down boys, break it down
Break it down boys, break it down boys, break it down
Oh, break it down boys, break it down boys, break it down
Break it down boys, break it down boys, break it down
Now I'm the king of the swingers
Oh, the 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, man cub
And stroll right into town
And be just like those other men
I'm tired of monkeying around
Oh, ooh, bi, doo, I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you, talk like you, too
You see it's true, an ape like me
Can learn to be human, too
Can learn to be like someone like me
Oh yeah, oh yeah, one more time
Can learn to be like someone like me
