Swinging On A Star

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

And 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 pig

A pig is an animal with dirt on his face

His shoes are a terrible disgrace

He ain't 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

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 won't do anything but swim in a brook

He cant write his name or read a book

And to fool the people is his only thought

Though he slippery - he still gets caught

But then if that sort of life is what you wish

You may grow up to be a fish

And all the monkeys aren't in a zoo

Every day you meet quite a few

So you see it's all up to you

You can be better than you are

You could be swinging on a star
