Swinging On A Star

	  		

F7     E7           A7 
Would you like to swing on a star  
    D7          G   F7 
Carry moonbeams home in a jar  
    E7             A7   D7                                  
And be better off than you  
                    G 
Are or would you rather be a mule  
   G     C       G        C                        
A mule is an animal with long funny ears  
G        C        G       Em7 
Kicks up at anything he hears  
   A7               D                                
His back is brawny but his brain is weak,  
     Em7        A7       D       D7 
He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak 
    G            C       G    F7    E7   Am7  
And by the way, if you hate to go to school     
     D7        G 
You may grow up to be a mule  
 F7      E7            A7 
Or would you like to swing on a star  
   D7           G   F7 
Carry moonbeams home in a jar  
    E7             A7   D7 
And be better off than you  
                    G 
Are or would you rather be a pig  
  G      C         G       C 
A pig is an animal with dirt on his face  
  G         C         G      Em7 
His shoes are a terrible disgrace  
  A7              D                                    
He has no manners when he eats his food 
    Em7       A7    D       D7 
He's fat and lazy and extremely rude  
        G        C          G   F7   E7   Am7  
But if you don't care a feather or a fig            
      D7        G 
You may grow up to be a pig 
  F7      E7            A7                         
Or would you like to swing on a star   
   D7            G     F7 
Carry moonbeams home in a jar  
    E7             A7   D7                                    
And be better off than you  
                    G 
Are or would you rather be a fish  
 G          C        G        C 
A fish won't do anything, but swim in a brook  
  G            C        G      Em7          
He can't write his name or read a book.  
     A7              D 
To fool the people is his only thought  
  Em7       A7           D      D7                   
And though he's slippery, he still gets caught  
         G          C             G   F7   E7   Am7 
But then if that sort of life is what you wish  
      D7          G                   
You may grow up to be a fish   
     F7      E7            A7 
And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo  
    D7           G     F7         
Every day you meet quite a few  
     E7              A7   D7 
So you see it's all up to you   
                  G   G/F#  Em  A7 
You can be better than you are         
             D7            G 
You could be swingin' on a star
