SWINGING ON A STAR

Bing Crosby

 Would you like to swing on a star
 Carry moonbeams home in a jar
 And be better off than you are
 Or would you rather be a mule

 A mule is an animal with long funny ears
 Kicks up at anything he hears
 His back is brawny but his brain is weak
 He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak
 And by the way, if you hate to go to school
 You may grow up to be a mule

 Or would you like to swing on a star
 Carry moonbeams home in a jar
 And be better off than you are
 Or would you rather be a pig

 A pig is an animal with dirt on his face
 His shoes are a terrible disgrace
 He has no manners when he eats his food
 He's fat and lazy and extremely rude
 But if you don't care a feather or a fig
 You may grow up to be a pig

 Or would you like to swing on a star
 Carry moonbeams home in a jar
 And be better off than you are
 Or would you rather be a fish

 A fish won't do anything, but swim in a brook
 He can't write his name or read a book
 To fool the people is his only thought
 And though he's slippery, he still gets caught
 But then if that sort of life is what you wish
 You may grow up to be a fish
 A new kind of jumped-up slippery fish

 And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo
 Every day you meet quite a few
 So you see it's all up to you
 You can be better than you are
 You could be swingin' on a star
