Now I'm the king of the swingers, the jungle V.I.P
|
I 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
|
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
|
|
Ooh-bi-doo, I wan'na be like you
|
I want to walk like you, talk like you, too
|
You see it's true, an ape like me
|
Can learn to be like you, too
|
|
Now don't try to kid me, man-cub, I made a deal with you

Give me the power of man's red flower so I can be like you

Break it down boys, break it down boys, break it down
|
Break it down boys, break it down boys, break it down
|
