1
Would you like to swing on a star?
2
Carry moonbeams home in a jar?
3
And be better off than you are?
4
Or would you rather be a mule?
5
A mule is an animal with long, funny ears
6
He kicks up at anything he hears
7
His back is brawny and his brain is weak
8
He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak
9
And, by the way, if you hate to go to school
10
You may grow up to be a mule
11
Or would you like to swing on a star?
12
Carry moonbeams home in a jar?
13
And be better off than you are?
14
Or would you rather be a pig?
15
A pig is an animal with dirt on his face
16
His shoes are a terrible disgrace
17
He's got no manners when he eats his food
18
He's fat and lazy and extremely rude
19
But if you don't care a feather or a fig
20
You may grow up to be a pig
21
[Instrumental-first 3 lines of chorus]
22
Or would you rather be a fish?
23
A fish won't do anything but swim in a brook
24
He can't write his name or read a book
25
To fool all the people is his only thought
26
Though he's slippery, he still gets caught
27
But then if that sort of life is what you wish
28
You may grow up to be a fish
29
And all the monkeys aren't in a zoo
30
Every day you meet quite a few
31
So you see, it's all up to you
32
You can be better than you are
33
You could be swingin' on a star
