frank sinatra - swingin on a star lyrics
writer(s): burke/van heusen
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 mule
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
and by the way, if you hate to go to school
you may grow up to be a mule
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
a pig is an animal with dirt on his face
his shoes are a terrible disgrace
he ain’t got no manners when he eats his food
he’s fat and lazy – and extremely rude
but if you don’t care a feather or a fig
you may grow up to be a pig
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 fish
a fish won’t do anything but swim in a brook
he can’t write his name or read a book
and to fool the people is his only thought
though he slippery – he still gets caught
but then if that sort of life is what you wish
you may grow up to be a fish
and all the monkeys aren’t in a zoo
every day you meet quite a few
so you see it’s all up to you
you can be better than you are
you could be swinging on a star
