lyrics

Swinging on a Star Jimmy Van Heusen and Johnny Burke

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 mule…

A mule is an animal with long funny ears
He kicks up at any thing he hears
His back is brawny and 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 fish…

A fish can’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
And if that sort of life is what you wish
You may grow up to be a fish

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 mud on his face
His shoes are a terrible disgrace
He’s got no manners when he eats his food
He’s fat and lazy and extremely rude
So if you don’t give a feather or a fig
You may grow up to be a pig

And all the monkeys aren’t in a zoo
Everyday you meet quite a few
So you see it’s all up to you
You could be better than you are
You could be swinging on a star
