Swinging On A Star(Chords)

	        

F7       E7                A7 
Would you like to swing on a star  
      D7                 G     F7 
Carry moonbeams home in a jar 
       E7                A7   D7      
And be better off than you are  
                          G 
Or would you rather be a mule  
  G         C            G          C                        
A mule is an animal with long funny ears 
G          C           G        Em7 
Kicks up at anything he hears  
   A7                     D                                      
His back is brawny but his brain is weak 
Em7       A7            D       D7 
He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak  
          G            C              G    F7    E7   Am7 
And by the way, if you hate to go to school       
           D7          G 
You may grow up to be a mule  
  F7         E7                A7 
Or would you like to swing on a star  
    D7                  G     F7 
Carry moonbeams home in a jar  
      E7                 A7   D7      
And be better off than you are  
                          G 
Or would you rather be a pig  
   G         C            G          C 
A pig is an animal with dirt on his face  
     G            C          G        Em7 
His shoes are a terrible disgrace  
   A7                     D                                  
He has no manners when he eats his food 
     Em7      A7       D         D7 
He's fat and lazy and extremely rude;  
          G            C            G   F7   E7  Am7 
But if you don't care a feather or a fig            
           D7          G 
You may grow up to be a pig 
     F7         E7                A7                
Or would you like to swing on a star 
     D7                   G     F7 
Carry moonbeams home in a jar  
       E7                 A7   D7      
And be better off than you are  
                         G 
Or would you rather be a fish  
   G              C            G          C 
A fish won't do anything, but swim in a brook  
     G              C              G        Em7     
He can't write his name or read a book 
     A7                     D 
To fool the people is his only thought  
    Em7         A7            D         D7                  
And though he's slippery, he still gets caught 
             G            C                G    F7    E7   Am7 
But then if that sort of life is what you wish  
           D7          G                  
You may grow up to be a fish   
    F7       E7                   A7 
And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo 
      D7                   G     F7        
Every day you meet quite a few 
        E7                 A7   D7 
So you see it's all up to you   
                         G   G/F#  Em A7 
You can be better than you are    
              D7            G 
You could be swingin' on a star
