Am                                                         E7 
Now I'm the king of the swingers, oh, the jungle VIP 
                                                                                        Am       
I've reached the top and had to stop and that's what botherin' me 
                                                                     E7 
I wanna be a man, mancub and stroll right into town 
                                                                              Am 
And be just like the other men I'm tired of monkeyin' around

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.

Give me the secret, mancub, clue me what to do 
                                                                                Am 
Give me the power of man's red flower, so I can be like you
