Bing Crosby - Swinging on a star

Would you ^E7like to swing on a ^A7star, Carry ^Dmoonbeams home in a ^Gjar, E7 A7 - D7 And be better off than you are? Or would you rather be a ^Gmule?

A ^Gmule is an ^Canimal with ^Glong funny ^Cears. He ^Gkicks up at ^Canything he ^Ghears^Em7. His ^A7back is brawny but his ^Dbrain is weak. He's ^Em7just plain ^A7stupid with a ^Dstubborn ^D7streak. And by the ^Gway, if you ^Chate to go to ^Gschool^E7, ^Am7 You may grow ^D7up to be a ^Gmule.

Or would y^E7ou like to swing on^A7 a star, Carry ^Dmoonbeams home in a ^Gjar, E7 A7 - D7 And be better off than you are? Or would you rather be a ^Gpig?

A ^Gpig is an ^Canimal with ^Gdirt on his ^Cface. His ^Gshoes are a ^Cterrible ^Gdisgrace^Em7. He ^A7has no manners when he ^Deats his food. He's ^Em7fat and ^A7lazy and ^Dextremely ^D7rude. But if you ^Gdon't care a ^Cfeather or a ^Gfig,^{E7 Am7} You may grow ^D7up to be a ^Gpig.

Or would y^E7ou like to swing on^A7 a star, Carry ^Dmoonbeams home in a ^Gjar, E7 A7 - D7 And be better off than you are? Or would you rather be a ^Gfish?

A ^Gfish won't do ^Canything but ^Gswim in a ^Cbrook. He ^Gcan't write his ^Cname or read a ^Gbook.^Em7 To ^A7fool the people is his ^Donly thought, and ^Em7though he's ^A7slippery, he ^Dstill gets ^D7caught. But then if ^Gthat sort of ^Clife is what you ^Gwish^E7, ^Am7 You may grow ^D7up to be a ^Gfish.

And all the ^E7monkeys aren't in the ^A7zoo; Every ^Dday you meet quite a ^Gfew. E7 A7 - D7 So, you see, it's all up to you. G - A7 You can be better than you are. You could be ^D7swingin' on a ^Gstar!
