Lyrics

[00:06.490] Would you like to swing on a star
[00:10.490] Carry moonbeams home in a jar
[00:13.490] And be better off than you are
[00:18.490] Or would you rather be a mule
[00:21.490] A mule is an animal with long funny ears
[00:24.490] Kicks up at anything he hears
[00:27.490] His back is brawny but his brain is weak
[00:30.490] He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak
[00:33.490] And by the way if you hate to go to school
[00:36.490] You may grow up to be a mule
[00:39.490] Or would you like to swing on a star
[00:42.490] Carry moonbeams home in a jar
[00:46.490] And be better off than you are
[00:51.490] Or would you rather be a pig
[00:53.490] A pig is an animal with dirt on his face
[00:57.490] His shoes are a terrible disgrace
[01:00.490] He has no manners when he eats his food
[01:04.490] He's fat and lazy and extremely rude
[01:07.490] But if you don't care a feather or a fig
[01:11.490] You may grow up to be a pig
[01:14.490] Or would you like to swing on a star
[01:17.490] Carry moonbeams home in a jar
[01:21.490] And be better off than you are
[01:24.490] Or would you rather be a fish
[01:27.490] A fish won't do anything but swim in a brook
[01:31.490] He can't write his name or read a book
[01:34.490] To fool the people is his only thought
[01:38.490] And though he's slippery he still gets caught
[01:41.490] But then if that sort of life is what you wish
[01:45.490] You may grow up to be a fish
[01:59.490] A new kind of jumped up slippery fish
[02:01.490] And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo
[02:06.490] Every day you meet quite a few
[02:08.490] So you see it's all up to you
[02:13.490] You can be better than you are
[02:19.490] You could be swingin' on a star
[02:25.490] Dudu dudu dudu dudu dudu
