I wan-na  be  a   man, mancub

And stroll right into town 
 2    2      2    2 2  3*  

And be just like the other men
3* 3*   3*   3*  3*  3* 3* 3*

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 
So 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! 

Ooh-be-do
I wanna be like you 
I wanna talk like you 
Walk like you, too 
You see it's true, An ape like me 
Can learn to be like you, too
