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 four funny ears
He kicks up
at anything he hears
His back is funny
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
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 got no manners
when he eats his food
He's fat and lazy
and extremely rude
And if you don't
care a feather or a fig
You may grow up to be a pig
Would you like to
swing on a star
Carry moonbeams
home in a jar
And be better off than you are
You could be swinging on a star
You could be swinging on a star
You could be swinging on a star
