Swinging On A Star lyrics

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 is an animal that swims in a brook
He can't write his name or read a book
To fool the people is his only thought
But though he's slippery, he still gets caught
By the way, if you don't clean up your dish
You may grow up to be a fish

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
He kicks up at everything 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's sloppy and he's dirty and he's grungy up-front
When he talks all he does is grunt
And if you don't care a feather or a fig
You may grow up to be a pig

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