[Intro]
Would you like to swing on a star?
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
One moonbeam
Two moonbeams
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a mule?
(Yeah! Yeah! Tell 'em 'bout a mule now)
[Verse 1]
A mule is an animal with long funny ears
He kicks up at anything he hears
His back is brawny and his brain is weak
He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak
[Pre-Chorus]
And by the way, if you hate to go to school
(Which I do)
You may grow up to be a mule
I don't wanna grow up to be a mule
[Chorus]
Would you like to swing on a star?
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a pig?
Yeah! Yeah! Tell 'em 'bout a pig now
[Verse 2]
A pig is an animal with dirt on his face
His shoes are a terrible disgrace
He's got no manners when he eats his food (Nor you farmer)
He's fat and lazy and extremely rude
[Pre-Chorus]
But if you don't care a feather or a fig
(Which I don't)
You may grow up to be a pig
I don't wanna grow up to be a pig
[Chorus]
Would you like to swing on a star?
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
One moonbeam
Two moonbeams
And be better off than you are
We could be swinging on a star
[Outro]
We could be swinging on a star
We could be swinging on a...
We could be swinging on a star
We could be swinging on a star
We could be swinging on a...
