Intro :
D7    G7    C7     F
          D7                 G7
Would you like to swing on a star,
      C                   F
Carry moonbeams home in a jar,
       D7                  G7   C7
And be better off than you are?
                         F
Or would you rather be a mule?
 
  F          A#          F          A#
A mule is an animal with long funny ears.
   F           A#          F    Dm7
He kicks up at anything he hears.
    G7                     C
His back is brawny but his brain is weak.
     Dm7        G7            C        C7
He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak.
           F           A#            F     D7 Gm7
And by the way, if you hate to go to school,
             C7         F
You may grow up to be a mule.
 
          D7                 G7
Or would you like to swing on a star,
      C                   F
Carry moonbeams home in a jar,
       D7                  G7   C7
And be better off than you are?
                         F
Or would you rather be a pig?
 
  F         A#          F           A#
A pig is an animal with dirt on his face.
    F           A#       F       Dm7
His shoes are a terrible disgrace.
   G7                     C
He has no manners when he eats his food.
     Dm7     G7       C         C7
He's fat and lazy and extremely rude.
           F            A#           F   D7 Gm7
But if you don't care a feather or a fig,
             C7         F
You may grow up to be a pig.
 
          D7                 G7
Or would you like to swing on a star,
      C                   F
Carry moonbeams home in a jar,
       D7                  G7   C7
And be better off than you are?
                         F
Or would you rather be a fish?
 
  F             A#           F         A#
A fish won't do anything but swim in a brook.
   F               A#             F    Dm7
He can't write his name or read a book.
   G7                     C
To fool the people is his only thought,
    Dm7         G7           C          C7
and though he's slippery, he still gets caught.
            F            A#               F   D7 Gm7
But then if that sort of life is what you wish,
             C7         F
You may grow up to be a fish.
 
            D7                    G7
And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo;
      C                    F
Every day you meet quite a few.
        D7                  G7   C7
So, you see, it's all up to you.
                           B7 - Am7
You can be better than you are.
             C7            F
You could be swingin' on a star!
