{soc}
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. [Em7]
His [A7]back is brawny but his [D]brain is weak,
He's [Em7]just plain [A7]stupid with a [D]stubborn [D7]streak.
And by the [G]way, if you [C]hate to go to [G]school, [E7] [Am7]
You may grow [D7]up to be a [G]mule.
{c:Repeat Chorus "rather be a *pig*?"}
A [G]pig is an [C]animal with [G]dirt on his [C]face,
His [G]shoes are a [C]terrible [G]disgrace. [Em7]
He [A7] has no manners when he [D]eats his food,
He's [Em7]fat and [A7]lazy and [D]extremely [D7]rude.
But if you [G]don't care a [C]feather or a [G]fig, [E7] [Am7]
You may grow [D7]up to be a [G]pig.
{c:Repeat Chorus "rather be a *fish*?"}
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. [Em7]
To [A7]fool the people is his [D]only thought,
And [Em7]though he's [A7]slippery, he [D]still gets [D7]caught;
But then if [G]that sort of [C]life is what [G]you wish, [E7] [Am7]
You may grow [D7]up to be a [G]fish.
And all the [E7]monkeys aren't in the [A7]zoo;
Every [D7]day you meet quite a [G]few.
So you [E7]see it's all up to [A7]you--
[D7]You can be better than you [E7]are, [Am7]
You could be [D7]swingin' on a [G]star.
