Lyrics

[Chorus] Would you like to swing on a star? Carry moonbeams home in a jar? And be better off than you are? (Doobie-doo-doo) Or would you rather be a mule? [Verse 1] A mule is an animal with long funny ears Kicks up at anything he hears His back is brawny, but his brain is weak He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak And by the way, if you hate to go to school You may grow up to be a mule [Chorus] Or would you like to swing on a star? Carry moonbeams home in a jar? And be better off than you are? (Do, do) Or would you rather be a pig? [Verse 2] A pig is an animal with dirt on his face His shoes are a terrible disgrace He has no manners when he eats his food Hе's fat, and lazy, and extremely rudе But if you don't care a feather or a fig You may grow up to be a pig [Chorus] Or would you like to swing on a star? Carry moonbeams home in a jar? And be better off than you are? (Do, do) Or would you rather be a fish? [Verse 3] A fish won't do anything but swim in a brook He can't write his name or read a book To fool the people is his only thought And though he's slippery, he still gets caught But then if that sort of life is what you wish You may grow up to be a fish [Verse 4] And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo Every day you'll meet quite a few So, you see, it's all up to you [Spoken] Y'know you're all terrific But you can be even better than you are [Outro] You could be swingin' on a star You could be swingin' on a star You could be swingin' on a star!
