Swinging On A Star [The Frank Sinatra Collection]

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
