Bing Crosby – Swinging On A Star (Ukulele)

          A7                 D7
Would you like to swing on a star,

      G                   C
Carry moonbeams home in a jar,

       A7                  D7   G7
And be better off than you are?

                         C
Or would you rather be a mule?

  C          F           C          F
A mule is an animal with long funny ears.

   C           F           C    Am7
He kicks up at anything he hears.

    D7                     G
His back is brawny but his brain is weak.

     Am7        D7            G        G7
He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak.

           C           F             C     A7  Dm7
And by the way, if you hate to go to school,

             G7         C
You may grow up to be a mule.

          A7                 D7
Or would you like to swing on a star,

      G                   C
Carry moonbeams home in a jar,

       A7                  D7   G7
And be better off than you are?

                         C
Or would you rather be a pig?

  C         F           C           F
A pig is an animal with dirt on his face.

    C           F        C       Am7
His shoes are a terrible disgrace.

   D7                     G
He has no manners when he eats his food.

     Am7     D7       G         G7
He's fat and lazy and extremely rude.

           C            F            C   A7  Dm7
But if you don't care a feather or a fig,

             G7         C
You may grow up to be a pig.

          A7                 D7
Or would you like to swing on a star,

      G                   C
Carry moonbeams home in a jar,

       A7                  D7   G7
And be better off than you are?

                         C
Or would you rather be a fish?

  C             F            C         F
A fish won't do anything but swim in a brook.

   C               F              C    Am7
He can't write his name or read a book.

   D7                     G
To fool the people is his only thought,

    Am7         D7           G          G7
and though he's slippery, he still gets caught.

            C            F                C   A7  Dm7
But then if that sort of life is what you wish,

             G7         C
You may grow up to be a fish.

            A7                    D7
And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo;

      G                    C
Every day you meet quite a few.

        A7                  D7   G7
So, you see, it's all up to you.

                           C   D7
You can be better than you are.

             G7            C
You could be swingin' on a star!
