Swingin' On A Star
E7 A7
Would you like to swing on a star
D7 G
carry moonbeams home in a jar
E7 A7
and be better off than you are
D7 G
or would you rather be a Mule
G C G C
A mule is an animal with long funny ears
G C G
he kicks up at anything he hears
A7 D7
His back is brawny but his brain is weak
A7 D7
he's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak
G C G E7
and by the way if you hate to go to school
A7 D7 G
You may grow up to be a mule
E7 A7
Would you like to swing on a star
D7 G
carry moonbeams home in a jar
E7 A7
and be better off than you are
D7 G
or would you rather be a Pig
G C G C
A pig is an animal with dirt on his face
G C G
his shoes are a terrible disgrace
A7 D7
He has no manners when he eats his food
A7 D7
He's fat and lazy and extremely rude
G C G E7
But if you don't care a feather or a fig
A7 D7 G
you may grow up to be a pig
E7 A7
Would you like to swing on a star
D7 G
carry moonbeams home in a jar
E7 A7
and be better off than you are
D7 G
or would you rather be a Fish
G C G C
A fish won't do anything but swim in a brook
G C G
he can't write his name or read a book
A7 D7
to fool the people is his only thought
A7 D7
and though he's slippery he still gets caught
G C G E7
but then if that sort of life is what you wish
A7 D7 G
you may grow up to be a fish
E7 A7
And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo
D7 G
everyday you see quite a few
E7 A7
so you see it's all up to you
D7 E7
you can be better than you are
A7 D7 G
you can be swinging on a star
