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 ANYTHING 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 PIG
A PIG IS AN ANIMAL
WITH DIRT ON HIS FACE
HIS SHOES
ARE A TERRIBLE
DISGRACE
HE HAS NO MANNERS
WHEN HE EATS HIS FOOD
HE'S FAT AND LAZY
AND EXTREMELY RUDE
BUT IF YOU DON'T CARE
A FEATHER OR A FIG
YOU MAY GROW UP
TO BE A PIG
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
WON'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
BUT THEN IF THAT SORT
OF LIFE IS WHAT YOU WISH
YOU MAY GROW UP
TO BE A FISH
AND ALL THE MONKEYS
AREN'T IN THE ZOO
EVERY DAY YOU MEET
QUITE A FEW
SO YOU SEE
IT'S ALL UP TO YOU
YOU CAN BE BETTER
THAN YOU ARE
YOU COULD BE
SWINGIN' ON A STAR
