G//// C//// G//// C//// G//// C//// G/// (pause)
NCWould you E7like to swing on a A7star,
Carry D7moonbeams home in a Gjar,
And be E7better off than you A7are,
D7or would you rather be a Gmule?///
A Gmule is an Canimal with Glong funny Cears,
He Gkicks up at Canything he Ghears,
His A7back is D7brawny but his A7brain is D7weak,
He's A7just plain stupid with a D7stubborn streak,
And by the Gway if you B7hate to go to E7school, A7
You may grow D7up to be a Gmule.
NCOr would you E7like to swing on a A7star,
Carry D7moonbeams home in a Gjar,
And be E7better off than you A7are,
D7or would you rather be a Gpig?///
A Gpig is an Canimal with Gdirt on his Cface,
His Gshoes are a Cterrible disGgrace,
He A7has no D7manners when he A7eats his D7food,
He's A7fat and lazy and exE7tremely rude, A7
But if you Gdon't care a B7feather or a E7fig, A7
You may grow D7up to be a Gpig.
NCOr would you E7like to swing on a A7star,
Carry D7moonbeams home in a Gjar,
And be E7better off than you A7are,
D7or would you rather be a Gfish?///
A Gfish won't do Canything but Gswim in a Cbrook,
He Gcan't write his Cname or read a Gbook,
To A7fool the D7people is his A7only D7thought,
And A7though he's slippery he D7still gets caught,
But then if Gthat sort of B7life is what you D7wish, A7
You may grow D7up to be a Gfish.
NCAnd all the D7monkeys aren't in the A7zoo,
Every D7day you meet quite a Gfew,
So you E7see it's all up to A7you
D7you can be better than you E7are,
A7You could be D7swingin' on a Gstar.
