A mule is an animal with long funny ears
[G] [Am7] [Bm7] [G]
He kicks up at anything he hears
[A] [Asus4]
His back is brawny and his brain is weak

He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak

fish won't do anything but swim in a brook
[Ab] [Bbm7] [Cm7] [Ab]
He can't write his name or read a book
