Help with words to song

[Claudia Fisher <fisherc@MAIL.YAMHILLESD.K12.OR.US>]

I mistakenly deleted the address of the person who wanted these words so
please bear with me. My husband has an extentive collection of records
(garage sales). Titles are in a data base so are easy to find. Hope this is
not too late and is helpful.

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 hicks up at anything he hears
His back is brawy 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 ould 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 terribe disgrace
He has no manners when he eats his food
He's fat and lazy and extremely rude
But is 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

And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo
Everyday 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
