[Verse 1]
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, man-cub
And stroll right into town
And be just like the other men
I'm tired of monkeyin' around

[Chorus]
Oh, oobee doo
Oob-dee-wee
I wanna be like you, hoo, hoo
Ob-dee-doo-bee-doo-bow
I wanna walk like you
Cheep
Talk like you
Cheep
Too-oo-oo
You'll see it's true, hoo, hoo
Shoobedy-doo
An ape like me, hee, hee
Scobby-dooby-dooby
Can learn to be hu-hu-human too-oo-oo
C'mon
[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]

[Interlude]
Now here's your part of the deal, cuz
Lay the secret on me of man's red fire
But I don't know how to make fire

[Verse 2]
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 dream come true
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

[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK (TRUMPETS)]

[Chorus]
Oh, oobee doo
Oob-dee-wee
I wanna be like you, hoo, hoo
Ob-dee-doo-bee-doo-bow
I wanna walk like you
Cheep
Talk like you
Cheep
Too-oo-oo
You'll see it's true, hoo, hoo
Shoobedy-doo
An ape like me, hee, hee
Scobby-dooby-dooby
Can learn to be hu-hu-human too-oo-oo
C'mon
C'mon
[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]

[Chorus]
Oh, oobee doo
Oob-dee-wee
I wanna be like you, hoo, hoo
Ob-dee-doo-bee-doo-bow
I wanna walk like you
Cheep

Cheep
Too-oo-oo
You'll see it's true, hoo, hoo
Shoobedy-doo
An ape like me, hee, hee
Scobby-dooby-dooby

Like someone like you

Can learn to be
Like someone like you
