Bing Crosby

Would you like to swing on a star<br /> Carry moonbeams home in a jar<br /> And be better off than you are<br /> Or would you rather be a muleA mule is an animal with long funny ears<br /> Kicks up at anything he hears<br /> His back is brawny but his brain is weak<br /> He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak<br /> And by the way, if you hate to go to school<br /> You may grow up to be a muleOr would you like to swing on a star<br /> Carry moonbeams home in a jar<br /> And be better off than you are<br /> Or would you rather be a pigA pig is an animal with dirt on his face<br /> His shoes are a terrible disgrace<br /> He has no manners when he eats his food<br /> He's fat and lazy and extremely rude<br /> But if you don't care a feather or a fig<br /> You may grow up to be a pigOr would you like to swing on a star<br /> Carry moonbeams home in a jar<br /> And be better off than you are<br /> Or would you rather be a fishA fish won't do anything, but swim in a brook<br /> He can't write his name or read a book<br /> To fool the people is his only thought<br /> And though he's slippery, he still gets caught<br /> But then if that sort of life is what you wish<br /> You may grow up to be a fishA new kind of jumped up slippery fishAnd all the monkeys aren't in the zoo<br /> Every day you meet quite a few<br /> So you see it's all up to you<br /> You can be better than you are<br /> You could be swingin' on a star<br /> <br /> Songwriters<br /> JOHNNY BURKE, JIMMY HEUSEN-VANPublished by<br /> Lyrics © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc., Peermusic PublishingLyrics provided by TANCODEhttps://damnlyrics.com/" readonly=""/>
