[Am] I’m the king of the swingers
Oh, the jungle V.I. [E7] P,
I’ve reached the top and had to stop
And that’s what botherin’ [Am] me.
I wanna be a man, mancub,
And stroll right into [E7] town
And be just like the other men
I’m tired of monkeyin’ [Am] around!
[G7] Oh, [C] oo-bee-doo
I wanna be like [A7] you
I wanna [D7] walk like you,
[G7] Talk like you [C] too.
[G7] You’ll see it’s [C] true
An ape like [A7] me
Can [D7] learn to be [G7] human [C] too.
Now [Am] don’t try to kid me, mancub
I made a deal with [E7] you
What I desire is man’s red fire
To make my dream come [Am] true.
Give me the secret, mancub,
Clue me what to [E7] do
Give me the power of man’s red flower
So I can be like [Am] you.
[G7] Oh, [C] oo-bee-doo
I wanna be like [A7] you
I wanna [D7] walk like you,
[G7] Talk like you [C] too.
[G7] You’ll see it’s [C] true
An ape like [A7] me
Can [D7] learn to be [G7] human [C] too.
www.moselele.co.ukI [Am] like your mannerisms,
we’ll be a set of [E7] twins
No one will know where man-cub ends
and orangutan [Am] begins
And when I eat bananas,
I won’t peel them with my [E7] feet
‘Cause I’ll become a man-cub
and learn some etti – [Am] keet.
