[Chorus]
E7 chordE7 A7 chordA7 D7 chordD7
Would you like to swing on a star
G chordG E7 chordE7
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
A7 chordA7 D7 chordD7
And be better off than you are
G chordG C chordC
Or would you rather be a mule?

[Verse 1]
G chordG C chordC G chordG C chordC
A chordA mule is an animal with long funny ears
G chordG C chordC G chordG C chordC
He kicks up at anything he hears
A7 chordA7 D7 chordD7
His back is brawny but his brain is weak
A7 chordA7 D7 chordD7
He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak
G chordG C chordC G chordG E7 chordE7
And by the way, if you hate to go to school
A7 chordA7 D7 chordD7 G chordG
You may grow up to be a mule

[Chorus 2]

E7 chordE7 A7 chordA7 D7 chordD7
Or Would you like to swing on a star
G chordG E7 chordE7
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
A7 chordA7 D7 chordD7
And be better off than you are
G chordG C chordC
Or would you rather be a Pig?


[Verse 2]
G chordG C chordC G chordG C chordC
A chordA pig is an animal with dirt on his face
G chordG C chordC G chordG C chordC
His shoes are a terrible disgrace
A7 chordA7 D7 chordD7
He's got no manners when he eats his food
A7 chordA7 D7 chordD7
He's fat and lazy and extremely rude
G chordG C chordC G chordG E7 chordE7
But if you don't care a feather or a fig
A7 chordA7 D7 chordD7 G chordG
You may grow up to be a pig

[Chorus 3]

E7 chordE7 A7 chordA7 D7 chordD7
Or Would you like to swing on a star
G chordG E7 chordE7
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
A7 chordA7 D7 chordD7
And be better off than you are
G chordG C chordC
Or would you rather be a Fish?
[Verse 3]
G chordG C chordC G chordG C chordC
A chordA fish won't do anything, but swim in a brook
G chordG C chordC G chordG C chordC
He can't write his name or read a book
A7 chordA7 D7 chordD7
To fool the people is his only thought
A7 chordA7 D7 chordD7
And though he's slippery, he still gets caught
G chordG C chordC G chordG E7 chordE7
But then if that sort of life is what you wish
A7 chordA7 D7 chordD7 G chordG
You may grow up to be a fish

[Chorus 3]
E7 chordE7 A7 chordA7 D7 chordD7
And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo
G chordG E7 chordE7
Everyday you'll meet quite a few
A7 chordA7 D7 chordD7
So you see it's all up to you
G chordG E7 chordE7 A7 chordA7
You can be better than you are

[Outro]
D7 chordD7 G chordG
You could be swingin' on a star (i do 3x)
