Swinging On A Star chords by Johnny Mercer

Chords with lyrics

F7F7     E7E7        A7A7
Would you like to swing on a star
    D7D7         G+G   F7F7
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
     E7E7        A7A7  D7D7
And be better off than you are
             G+G
Or would you rather be a mule
  G+G     C majorC      G+G     C majorC
A augmentedA mule is an animal with long funny ears
G+G      C majorC      G+G    E minor 7Em7
Kicks up at anything he hears
   A7A7           D MajorD
His back is brawny but his brain is weak
    E minor 7Em7     A7A7      D MajorD    D7D7
He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak.
      G+G      C majorC       G+G  F7F7  E7E7  Am7Am7
And by the way, if you hate to go to school
       D7D7     G+G
You may grow up to be a mule.
  F7F7     E7E7        A7A7
Or would you like to swing on a star
   D7D7         G+G   F7F7
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
    E7E7         A7A7  D7D7
And be better off than you are
              G+G
Or would you rather be a pig
  G+G     C majorC      G+G     C majorC
A augmentedA pig is an animal with dirt on his face
   G+G      C majorC     G+G    E minor 7Em7
His shoes are a terrible disgrace
  A7A7           D MajorD
He has no manners when he eats his food
   E minor 7Em7   A7A7    D MajorD     D7D7
He's fat and lazy and extremely rude
      G+G      C majorC      G+G  F7F7  E7E7 Am7Am7
But if you don't care a feather or a fig
      D7D7     G+G
You may grow up to be a pig
   F7F7     E7E7        A7A7
Or would you like to swing on a star
    D7D7          G+G   F7F7
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
    E7E7         A7A7  D7D7
And be better off than you are
              G+G
Or would you rather be a fish
  G+G       C majorC      G+G      C majorC
A augmentedA fish won't do anything, but swim in a brook
   G+G       C majorC       G+G    E minor 7Em7
He can't write his name or read a book
  A7A7           D MajorD
To fool the people is his only thought
   E minor 7Em7     A7A7      D MajorD     D7D7
And though he's slippery, he still gets caught
      G+G      C majorC        G+G  F7F7  E7E7  Am7Am7
But then if that sort of life is what you wish
       D7D7     G+G
You may grow up to be a fish
    F7F7    E7E7          A7A7
And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo
    D7D7          G+G   F7F7
Every day you meet quite a few
     E7E7         A7A7  D7D7
So you see it's all up to you
              G+G  G/F# E minorEm A7A7
You can be better than you are
        D7D7      G+G
You could be swingin' on a star
