Would you like to swing on a star?

Would you [E7] like to swing on a [A7] star

Carry [D7] moonbeams home in a [G] jar

And be [E7] better off than you [A7] are

[D7] or would you rather be a [G] mule/pig/fish

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] stub-[A7]born [D7] streak

And by the [G] way if you [C] hate to go to [G] school [E7]

[Am] You may grow [D7] up to be a [G] mule

A [G] pig is an [C] animal with [G] dirt on his [C] face

His [G] shoes are a [C] terrible dis-[G]grace [Em7]

He [A7] has no manners when he [D] eats his food

He's [Em7] fat and [A7] lazy and ex-[D]treme-[A7]ly [D7] rude

But if you [G] don't care a [C] feather or a [G] fig [E7]

[Am] You may grow [D7] up to be a [G] pig

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 [A7] gets [D7] caught

But then if [G] that sort of [C] life is what you [G] wish [E7]

[Am] You may grow [D7] up to be a [G] fish

And all the [E7] monkeys aren't in the [A7] zoo

Every [D7] 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 [E7] are

[Am] You could be [D7] swingin' on a [G] star [F#] [G]
