Bing Crosby - Swinging on a star

Would you ^A7like to swing on a ^D7star, Carry ^Gmoonbeams home in a ^Cjar, And be ^A7better off than you ^D7are? ^G7 Or would you rather be a ^Cmule?

A ^Cmule is an ^Fanimal with ^Clong funny ^Fears. He ^Ckicks up at ^Fanything he ^Chears^Am7. His ^D7back is brawny but his ^Gbrain is weak. He's ^Am7just plain ^D7stupid with a ^Gstubborn ^G7streak. And by the ^Cway, if you ^Fhate to go to ^Cschool^A7, ^Dm7 You may grow ^G7up to be a ^Cmule.

Or would y^A7ou like to swing on^D7 a star, Carry ^Gmoonbeams home in a ^Cjar, And be ^A7better off than you ^D7are? ^G7 Or would you rather be a ^Cpig?

A ^Cpig is an ^Fanimal with ^Cdirt on his ^Fface. His ^Cshoes are a ^Fterrible ^Cdisgrace^Am7. He ^D7has no manners when he ^Geats his food. He's ^Am7fat and ^D7lazy and ^Gextremely ^G7rude. But if you ^Cdon't care a ^Ffeather or a ^Cfig,^{A7 Dm7} You may grow ^G7up to be a ^Cpig.

Or would y^A7ou like to swing on^D7 a star, Carry ^Gmoonbeams home in a ^Cjar, And be ^A7better off than you ^D7are? ^G7 Or would you rather be a ^Cfish?

A ^Cfish won't do ^Fanything but ^Cswim in a ^Fbrook. He ^Ccan't write his ^Fname or read a ^Cbook.^Am7 To ^D7fool the people is his ^Gonly thought, and ^Am7though he's ^D7slippery, he ^Gstill gets ^G7caught. But then if ^Cthat sort of ^Flife is what you ^Cwish^A7, ^Dm7 You may grow ^G7up to be a ^Cfish.

And all the ^A7monkeys aren't in the ^D7zoo; Every ^Gday you meet quite a ^Cfew. So, you ^A7see, it's all up to ^D7you. ^G7 You can be better than you ^Care.^D7 You could be ^G7swingin' on a ^Cstar!
