swinging on a star þarký sözü

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
