Swinging On A Star

Swinging On A Star / Big Dee Irwin & Little Eva(auch von Bing Crosby erschienen)Would you like to swing on a starCarry moonbeams home in a jarAnd be better off than you areOr would you rather be a muleA mule is an animal with long funny earsKicks up at anything he hearsHis back is brawny but his brain is weakHe's just plain stupid with a stubborn streakAnd by the way, if you hate to go to schoolYou may grow up to be a muleOr would you like to swing on a starCarry moonbeams home in a jarAnd be better off than you areOr would you rather be a pigA pig is an animal with dirt on his faceHis shoes are a terrible disgraceHe has no manners when he eats his foodHe's fat and lazy an dextremely rudeBut if you don't care a feather or a figYou may grow up to be a pigOr would you like to swing on a starCarry moonbeams home in a jarAnd be better off than you areOr would you rather be a fishA fish won't do anything, but swim in a brookHe can't write his name or read a bookTo fool the people is his only thoughtAnd though he's slippery, he still gets caughtBut then if that sort of life is what you wishYou may grow up to be a fishA new kind of jumped-up slippery fishAnd all the monkeys aren't in the zooEvery day you meet quite a fewSo you see it's all up to youYou can be better than you areYou could be swingin' on a star
