Would you [E7]like to swing on a [A7]star,
Carry [D7]moonbeams home in a [G]jar,
And be [E7]better off than you [A7]are
[D7]or would you rather be a [G]mule?
{eoc}
A [G]mule is an [C]animal with [G]long funny [C]ears
He [G]kicks up at [C]anything he [G]hears
His [A7]back is brawny but his [D]brain is weak
He's [A7]just plain stupid with a [D7]stubborn streak
And by the [G]way if you [C]hate to go to [G]school [E7]
[A7]You may grow [D7]up to be a [G]mule.

{eoc}
A [G]pig is an [C]animal with [G]dirt on his [C]face
His [G]shoes are a [C]terrible dis-[G]grace
He [A7]has no manners when he [D]eats his food
He's [A7]fat and lazy and ex-[D7]tremely rude.
But if you [G]don't care a [C]feather or a [G]fig [E7]
[A7]You may grow [D7]up to be a [G]pig.

{eoc}
A [G]fish won't do [C]anything but [G]swim in a [C]brook
He [G]can't write his [C]name or read a [G]book
To [A7]fool the people is his [D]only thought
And [A7]though he's slippery he [D7]still gets caught
But then if [G]that sort of [C]life is what you [G]wish [E7]
[A7]You may grow [D7]up to be a [G]fish.
{c: }
And all the [E7]monkeys aren't in the [A7]zoo
Every-[D7]day you see quite a [G]few
So you [E7]see it's all up to [A7]you.
[D7]You can be better than you [E7]are.
[A7]You can be [D7]swinging on a [G]star
