Lyrics for Swingin On A Star by Perry Como:
| | | Artist: | Perry Como |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Swingin On A Star | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 150 | | | | Lyrics: | 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
Performed in part only
