[Am] I’m the king of the swingers<\/p>\n

Oh, the jungle V.I. [E7] P,<\/p>\n

I’ve reached the top and had to stop<\/p>\n

And that’s what botherin’ [Am] me.<\/p>\n

I wanna be a man, mancub,<\/p>\n

And stroll right into [E7] town<\/p>\n

And be just like the other men<\/p>\n

I’m tired of monkeyin’ [Am] around!<\/p>\n

[G7] Oh, [C] oo-bee-doo<\/p>\n

I wanna be like [A7] you<\/p>\n

I wanna [D7] walk like you,<\/p>\n

[G7] Talk like you [C] too.<\/p>\n

[G7] You’ll see it’s [C] true<\/p>\n

An ape like [A7] me<\/p>\n

Can [D7] learn to be [G7] human [C] too.<\/p>\n

Now [Am] don’t try to kid me, mancub<\/p>\n

I made a deal with [E7] you<\/p>\n

What I desire is man’s red fire<\/p>\n

To make my dream come [Am] true.<\/p>\n

Give me the secret, mancub,<\/p>\n

Clue me what to [E7] do<\/p>\n

Give me the power of man’s red flower<\/p>\n

So I can be like [Am] you.<\/p>\n

[G7] Oh, [C] oo-bee-doo<\/p>\n

I wanna be like [A7] you<\/p>\n

I wanna [D7] walk like you,<\/p>\n

[G7] Talk like you [C] too.<\/p>\n

[G7] You’ll see it’s [C] true<\/p>\n

An ape like [A7] me<\/p>\n

Can [D7] learn to be [G7] human [C] too.<\/p>\n

www.moselele.co.uk<\/span>I [Am] like your mannerisms,<\/p>\n

we’ll be a set of [E7] twins<\/p>\n

No one will know where man-cub ends<\/p>\n

and orangutan [Am] begins<\/p>\n

And when I eat bananas,<\/p>\n

I won’t peel them with my [E7] feet<\/p>\n

‘Cause I’ll become a man-cub<\/p>\n

and learn some etti – [Am] keet.<\/p>\n

(solo)<\/p>\n

[G7] [C] [A7] [D7] [G7] [C]<\/p>\n

[G7] [C] [A7] [D7] [G7] [C]<\/p>\n

[G7] Oh, [C] oo-bee-doo<\/p>\n

I wanna be like [A7] you<\/p>\n

I wanna [D7] walk like you,<\/p>\n

[G7] Talk like you [C] too.<\/p>\n

[G7] You’ll see it’s [C] true<\/p>\n

An ape like [A7] me<\/p>\n

Can [D7] learn to be [G7] human [C] too.<\/p>\n
