 mule?
Verse 1:
  G          Am7         Bm7        C
A mule is an animal with long funny ears
   G           Am7         Bm7     G
He kicks up at anything he hears
    A                      Asus4
His back is brawny and his brain is weak
     A7                       D7
He's just plain stupid with a     stubborn streak
           G           Am7           Bm7      E7
And by the way, if you hate to go to school
A7              D7         G
   You may grow up to be a mule
 
 
Chorus:
          E7                 A7
Would you like to swing on a star
      D7                  G
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
    E7                     A7
And be better off than you are
D7
  Or would you rather be a
 
G       G/C#   |G       G/C#   |G       G/C#   |G       G/C#   :

 pig?
 
 
Verse 2:
       G         Am7         Bm7         Am7
Hey, a pig is an animal with dirt on his face
    G           Am7          Bm7    G
His shoes are a terrible dis grace
   A                            Asus4
He ain't got no manners when he eats his food
     A7               D7
He's fat and lazy and    extremely rude
           G            Am7          Bm7     E7
But if you don't care a feather or a fig
    A7       D7
You may grow up to be a
 
 
 
Chorus:
  G  Am7              E7                 A7
pig      or would you like to swing on a star
      D7                  G
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
    E7                     A7
And be better off than you are
D7
  Or would you rather be a

fish?
 
                                                       A
Verse 3:
Ab            Bbm7         Cm7       Bbm7
fish won't do anything but swim in a brook
   Ab              Bbm7           Cm7    Ab
He can't write his name or read a book
       Bb                     Bbsus4
And to fool the people is his only thought
Bb7                    Eb7
Though he slippery, he still gets caught
 
            Ab           Bbm7             Cm7     F7
But then if that sort of life is what you wish
    Bb7      Eb7        Ab    C7
You may grow up to be a fish
 
 
[Chorus/finale]
            F7                  Bb7
And all the monkeys aren't in a zoo
      Eb7                  Ab
Every day you meet quite a few
       F7                 Bb7
So you see it's all up to you
Eb7                           Ab   F7
   You can be better than you are
Bb7           Eb7
You could be      swinging on a
 
Ab                 |Bb7                |Bbm7/Eb            :Ab
