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 everything he hits
His back is brawny and
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 immune
Oh, wouldn't you like to
swing on a star?
Carry moonbeams, hold in a jar
An d 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 chews his food
He's fat and lazy and extremely rude
And if you don't care a feather or a fig
You may grow up to be a pig
Oh, 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 don't do anything
but swim in a brook
If he can't write his name,
he'll read a book
Fooling people is his only thought
And though he's slippery,
he still gets caught
And if that's soul of life,
it's what you wish
You may grow up to be a fish
An d all the monkeys are in a zoo
Every day you meet quite a few
Selling seeds of love to you
You could be better than you are
You could be swingin' on a star
You could be swingin'
On a star
