Louis Prima
Louis Prima's, "King of the Swingers"
Better Lyrics:
(This is how I was made to feel by both kids and adults whilst growing up as an autistic child.)
Now I'm the king of the stimmers
Oh, Autistischen non-free
I reached the top, but had to stop
And that keeps botherin' me
I wanna be a real person
To stroll right into town
And get treated like the normal boys
I'm tired of bein' put down!
Oh, oobee doo
I wanna be like you-hoo-hoo
I wanna think like you
Move in sync like you, too-oo-oo
You see it's true-hoo-hoo
A PWA like me
Can learn to be hoo-hoo-human too-hoo-hoo
Now I'm the king of the stimmers
Oh, Autistischen non-free
I reached the top, but had to stop
And that keeps botherin' me
I wanna be a real person
To stroll right into town
And get treated like the normal boys
I'm tired of bein' put down!
Oh, oobee doo
I wanna be like you-hoo-hoo
I wanna think like you
Move in sync like you, too-oo-oo
You see it's true-hoo-hoo
A PWA like me
Can learn to be hoo-hoo-human too-hoo-hoo
Original Lyrics:
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's 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' 'round!
Oh, oobee doo
I wanna be like you-hoo-hoo
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you, too-oo-oo
You'll see it's true-hoo-hoo
An ape like me-hee-hee
Can learn to be hoo-hoo-human too-hoo-hoo
Oh, the jungle VIP
I've reached the top and had to stop
And that's what's 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' 'round!
Oh, oobee doo
I wanna be like you-hoo-hoo
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you, too-oo-oo
You'll see it's true-hoo-hoo
An ape like me-hee-hee
Can learn to be hoo-hoo-human too-hoo-hoo
