I don’t want to be a monkey
I don’t want to be a bee
I don’t want to be a monkey
I don’t want to be a bee
Buzzing ‘round a tree
Buzzing ‘round a tree

‘Cause I like to be me
I like to be me
Everytime I think of me
I like to be me

I like to be me
I like to be me
Everytime I think of me
I like to be me

I don’t want to be a lion
I don’t want to be a frog
I don’t want to be a lion
I don’t want to be a frog
Hopping on a log
Hopping on a log

‘Cause I like to be me
I like to be me
Everytime I think of me
I like to be me

I like to be me
I like to be me
Everytime I think of me
I like to be me

I don’t want to be someone else
I want to be who I am
I don’t want to be someone else
I want to be who I am
Knowing who I am
Knowing who I am

‘Cause I like to be me
I like to be me
Everytime I think of me
I like to be me
