Swinging On A Star

Would you (E7)like to swing on a (A7)star,
Carry (D)moonbeams home in a (G)jar,
And be (E7)better off than you (A7)are?(D7)
Or would you rather be a (G)mule?

A (G)mule is an (C)animal with (G)long funny (C)ears.
He (G)kicks up at (C)anything he (G)hears.(Em7)
His (A7)back is brawny but his (D)brain is weak.
He's (Em7)just plain (A7)stupid with a (D)stubborn (D7)streak.
And by the (G)way, if you (C)hate to go to (G)school,(E7)(Am7)
You may grow (D7)up to be a (G)mule.

Would you (E7)like to swing on a (A7)star,
Carry (D)moonbeams home in a (G)jar,
And be (E7)better off than you (A7)are?(D7)
Or would you rather be a (G)pig?

A (G)pig is an (C)animal with (G)dirt on his (C)face.
His (G)shoes are a (C)terrible (G)disgrace.(Em7)
He (A7)has no manners when he (D)eats his food.
He's (Em7)fat and (A7)lazy and (D)extremely (D7)rude.
But if you (G)don't care a (C)feather or a (G)fig,(E7)(Am7)
You may grow (D7)up to be a (G)pig.

Would you (E7)like to swing on a (A7)star,
Carry (D)moonbeams home in a (G)jar,
And be (E7)better off than you (A7)are?(D7)
Or would you rather be a (G)fish?

A (G)fish won't do (C)anything but (G)swim in a (C)brook.
He (G)can't write his (C)name or read a (G)book.(Em7)
To (A7)fool the people is his (D)only thought,
and (Em7)though he's (A7)slippery, he (D)still gets (D7)caught.
But then if (G)that sort of (C)life is what you (G)wish,(E7)(Am7)
You may grow (D7)up to be a (G)fish.

And all the (E7)monkeys aren't in the (A7)zoo;
Every (D)day you meet quite a (G)few.
So, you (E7)see, it's all up to (A7)you.(D7)
You can be better than you (G)are.(A7)
You could be (D7)swingin' on a (G)star!
