Bing Crosby Swinging On A Star Lyrics

Swinging On A Star Lyrics

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
Kicks up at anything he hears
His back is
brawny but 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

Or 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 has 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

Or 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
To fool the people is his only thought
And though he's
slippery, he still gets caught
But then if that sort of life is what you
wish
You may grow up to be a fish
A new kind of jumped-up slippery
fish

And all the monkeys aren't in the 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 swingin' on a star
