F7Would you lE7ike to swing on a A7star?
Carry moD7onbeams home in a jGar? F7
And be beE7tter off than you A7are D7
Or would you rather be a Gmule?
A mGule is an Canimal with lGong funny eCars,
GKicks up at aCnything he hGears. Em7
His bA7ack is brawny but his brDain is weak,
He's jEm7ust plain stA7upid with a stDubborn sD7treak.
And by the wGay, if you haCte to go to schGool, F7 E7 Am7
You may grow D7up to be a mGule.
Or F7would you lE7ike to swing on a A7star?
Carry mD7oonbeams home in a jGar? F7
And be bE7etter off than you A7are D7
Or would you rather be a pGig?
A pGig is an aCnimal with diGrt on his fCace;
His sGhoes are a teCrrible disgGrace. Em7
He hA7as no manners when he eDats his food,
He's Em7fat and lA7azy and eDxtremely rD7ude;
But if you dGon't care a fCeather or a fGig, F7 E7 Am7
You may grow D7up to be a pGig.
Or wF7ould you liE7ke to swing on a sA7tar?
Carry D7moonbeams home in a jGar? F7
And be bE7etter off than you A7are D7
Or would you rather be a fGish?
A fGish won't do anCything, but sGwim in a brCook;
He caGn't write his nCame or read a bGook. Em7
To fA7ool the people is his oDnly thought,
And tEm7hough he's sA7lippery, he stDill gets cD7aught;
But then if tGhat sort of lCife is what you wGish, F7 E7 Am7
You may grow D7up to be a fGish.
And F7all the mE7onkeys aren't in the A7zoo;
Every dD7ay you meet quite a fGew. F7
So you sE7ee it's all up to yA7ou --D7
You can be better than you aGre, G/F# Em A7
You could be sD7wingin' on a sGtar.
