[E7] [A7]
Would you like to swing on a star,
[D] [G]
Carry moonbeams home in a jar,
[E7] [A7] - [D7]
And be better off than you are?
[G]
Or would you rather be a mule?
[G] [C] [G] [C]
A mule is an animal with long funny ears.
[G] [C] [G] [Em7]
He kicks up at anything he hears.
[A7] [D]
His back is brawny but his brain is weak.
[Em7] [A7] [D] [D7]
He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak.
[G] [C] [G] [E7] [Am7]
And by the way, if you hate to go to school,
[D7] [G]
You may grow up to be a mule.
[E7] [A7]
Or would you like to swing on a star,
[D] [G]
Carry moonbeams home in a jar,
[E7] [A7] - [D7]
And be better off than you are?
[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] [Em7]
His shoes are a terrible disgrace.
[A7] [D]
He has no manners when he eats his food.
[Em7] [A7] [D] [D7]
He's fat and lazy and extremely rude.
[G] [C] [G] [E7] [Am7]
But if you don't care a feather or a fig,
[D7] [G]
You may grow up to be a pig.
[E7] [A7]
Or would you like to swing on a star,
[D] [G]
Carry moonbeams home in a jar,
[E7] [A7] - [D7]
And be better off than you are?
[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] [Em7]
He can't write his name or read a book.
[A7] [D]
To fool the people is his only thought,
[Em7] [A7] [D] [D7]
and though he's slippery, he still gets caught.
[G] [C] [G] [E7] [Am7]
But then if that sort of life is what you wish,
[D7] [G]
You may grow up to be a fish.
[E7] [A7]
And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo;
[D] [G]
Every day you meet quite a few.
[E7] [A7] - [D7]
So, you see, it's all up to you.
[B7] - [Am7]
You can be better than you are.
[D7] [G]
You could be swingin' on a star!
