Would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a mule?
A mule is an animal with long funny ears
He kicks up at anything he hears
His back is brawny
And his brain is weak
He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak
By the way, if you hate to go to school
You may grow up to be a mule
Would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a fish?
A fish is an animal that swims 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 slipperly
He still gets caught!
If that's all life is what you wish
You may grow up to be a fish
Would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a pig?
A pig is an animal with dirt on his face
His shoes are a terrible disgrace
He's got no manners when he eats his food
He's fat and lazy and extremely rude
But if you don't care a feather or a fig
You may grow up to be a pig
And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo
Every day you see quite a few
So you see it's all up to you
You could be better than you are
You could be swinging on a star
(repeat X10)
Let's take it home!
You could be swinging on a star! FRB
