[Bb] [F] [Bb]
[C] [Bb] [Dm]
Would you [Am] like to swing on [G] a star?
Carry [Am] moonbeams home [Dm] in a jar?
And be [Gb] better off than you [C] are?
[Dm]
[Gm] [C] Or would you rather be [Gm] a [C] mule?
[Dm] Mule is [Gm] an animal [C] with long funny ears
Kicks up at anything he [F] hears
His [A] back is brawny but his brain is weak
He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak
And [F] by the way, if you [Gm] hate to go to [C] school
[Gm]
You may [C] grow up to be a [F] mule
Or would you like to [E] swing on a star?
[Am]
Carry [Bb] moonbeams home in [Dm] a jar?
And be [F] better off [G] than you are?
Or would [C] you rather be a pig?
[F]
A pig is an animal with dirt on his face
His shoes are a terrible disgrace
[G] He has no manners when he eats [C] his food
He's [A] fat and lazy and extremely [Dm] rude
But if you don't care [Gm] a feather [F] or a fig
[D] [Gm]
You may grow up to be [F] a pig
Or would you like [G] to swing on a star?
[E] Carry moonbeams [D] home in a jar?
[A] [Gb] And be better off than [B] you are?
[C]
Or would you rather be a fish?
[F] A fish won't do anything but swim in a [Bb] brook
He can't write his [F] name or read a book
[C] To fool the people is his only [Am] thought
[Dm] And though he's slippery [C] he still gets caught
[F] But then if that sort [Gm] of life is [F] what you wish
[Gm]
[Db] You may grow up to be a fish
[Dm]
[F] [D] [Bm]
[F] [Am]
[F] [G]
