Swingin On A Star Lyrics - Frank Sinatra

Writer(s): burke/van heusen 

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 

Hes 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 aint got no manners when he eats his food 

Hes 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 wont 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
