Tuning: G C E A (G C E A) Chorus: A7 D7 Would you like to swing on a star, G C Carry moonbeams home in a jar, A7 D7 G7 And be better off than you are? C Or would you rather be a mule? Verse 1: C F C F A mule is an animal with long funny ears. C F C Am7 He kicks up at anything he hears. D7 G His back is brawny but his brain is weak. Am7 D7 G G7 He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak. C F C A7 Dm7 And by the way, if you hate to go to school, G7 C You may grow up to be a mule.
Chorus: A7 D7 Or would you like to swing on a star, G C Carry moonbeams home in a jar, A7 D7 G7 And be better off than you are? C Or would you rather be a pig? Verse 2: C F C F A pig is an animal with dirt on his face. C F C Am7 His shoes are a terrible disgrace. D7 G He has no manners when he eats his food. Am7 D7 G G7 He's fat and lazy and extremely rude. C F C A7 Dm7 But if you don't care a feather or a fig, G7 C You may grow up to be a pig.
Chorus: A7 D7 Or would you like to swing on a star, G C Carry moonbeams home in a jar, A7 D7 G7 And be better off than you are? C Or would you rather be a fish? Verse 3: C F C F A fish won't do anything but swim in a brook. C F C Am7 He can't write his name or read a book. D7 G To fool the people is his only thought, Am7 D7 G G7 and though he's slippery, he still gets caught. C F C A7 Dm7 But then if that sort of life is what you wish, G7 C You may grow up to be a fish. Outro: A7 D7 And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo; G C Every day you meet quite a few. A7 D7 G7 So, you see, it's all up to you. C D7 You can be better than you are. G7 C You could be swingin' on a star!
