Now I'm the king of the swingers, oh, the jungle VIP I've reached the top and had to stop and that's what botherin' me I wanna be a man, mancub and stroll right into town And be just like the other men I'm tired of monkeyin' around Oh, oobee doo, I wanna be like you I wanna walk like you Talk like you, too You'll see it's true An ape like me Can learn to be human too Mowgli: Gee, cousin Louie, you're doing real good. King Louie: Now here's your part of the deal, cuz. Lay the secret on me of Man's Red Fire. Mowgli: But I don't know how to make fire. Now don't try to kid me, mancub, I made a deal with you What I desire is man's red fire to make my dream come true Give me the secret, mancub, clue me what to do Give me the power of man's red flower, so I can be like you Chorus
