| [00:07] |
Would you like to swing on a star |
| [00:11] |
Carry moonbeams home in a jar |
| [00:14] |
And be better off than you are |
| [00:18] |
Or would you rather be a mule |
| [00:21] |
A mule is an animal with long funny ears |
| [00:25] |
Kicks up at anything he hears |
| [00:28] |
His back is brawny but his brain is weak |
| [00:31] |
He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak |
| [00:34] |
And by the way, if you hate to go to school |
| [00:38] |
You may grow up to be a mule |
| [00:41] |
Or would you like to swing on a star |
| [00:44] |
Carry moonbeams home in a jar |
| [00:48] |
And be better off than you are |
| [00:52] |
Or would you rather be a pig |
| [00:55] |
A pig is an animal with dirt on his face |
| [00:58] |
His shoes are a terrible disgrace |
| [01:02] |
He has no manners when he eats his food |
| [01:05] |
He's fat and lazy and extremely rude |
| [01:08] |
But if you don't care a feather or a fig |
| [01:12] |
You may grow up to be a pig |
| [01:15] |
Or would you like to swing on a star |
| [01:18] |
Carry moonbeams home in a jar |
| [01:22] |
And be better off than you are |
| [01:26] |
Or would you rather be a fish |
| [01:29] |
A fish won't do anything, but swim in a brook |
| [01:32] |
He can't write his name or read a book |
| [01:36] |
To fool the people is his only thought |
| [01:39] |
And though he's slippery, he still gets caught |
| [01:42] |
But then if that sort of life is what you wish |
| [01:46] |
You may grow up to be a fish |
| [02:00] |
A new kind of jumped-up slippery fish |
| [02:03] |
And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo |
| [02:07] |
Every day you meet quite a few |
| [02:10] |
So you see it's all up to you |
| [02:14] |
You can be better than you are |
| [02:21] |
You could be swingin' on a star |
