Swinging On A Star

          E7                 A7
Would you like to swing on a star,
      D                   G
Carry moonbeams home in a jar,
       E7                  A7 - D7
And be better off than you are?
                         G
Or would you rather be a mule?


  G          C           G       
A mule is an animal with long 
   C
funny ears.
   G           C           G    Em7
He kicks up at anything he hears.
    A7                     D
His back is brawny but his brain is 
weak.
     Em7        A7          
He's just plain stupid with a 
  D        D7
stubborn streak.
           G           C          
And by the way, if you hate to go 
   G     E7 Am7
to school,
             D7         G
You may grow up to be a mule.

And be better off than you are?
                         G
Or would you rather be a pig?


  G         C           G        
A pig is an animal with dirt on 
   C
his face.
    G           C        G       Em7
His shoes are a terrible disgrace.
   A7                     D
He has no manners when he eats his 
food.
     Em7     A7       D         
He's fat and lazy and extremely 
D7
rude.
           G            C         
But if you don't care a feather or
   G   E7 Am7
 a fig,
             D7         G
You may grow up to be a pig.

                         G
Or would you rather be a fish?


  G             C            G   
A fish won't do anything but swim
      C
 in a brook.
   G               C              
He can't write his name or read a 
G    Em7
book.
   A7                     D
To fool the people is his only 
thought,
    Em7         A7           D   
and though he's slippery, he 
       D7
still gets caught.
            G            C     
But then if that sort of life is 
           G   E7 Am7
what you wish,
             D7         G
You may grow up to be a fish.


            E7                    
And all the monkeys aren't in the 
A7
zoo;
      D                    G
Every day you meet quite a few.
        E7                  A7 - D7
So, you see, it's all up to you.
                           B7 - Am7
You can be better than you are.
             D7            G
You could be swingin' on a star!
