Swinging on a Star Burke and Van Heusen 1944
Intro: Dm7 G7 | C . . 4/4 time FN= E | A7 | D7 |G7 |C . . Would you like to swing on a star? Carry moon-beams home in a jar? | A7 | D7 | G7/ | C . . . And be better off than you are……? Or would you rather be a mule?
| C F | C F | C F | C Am7 . A mule is an animal with long funny ears. He kicks up at anything he hears. | D7 | G | Am7 D7 | G7 . . His back is brawny but his brain is weak. He’s just plain stupid with a stubborn streak, | C F | C A7 | Dm7 G7 | C . . And by the way, if you hate to go to school, you may grow up to be a mule.
| A7 | D7 | G7 | C . . Or would you like to swing on a star? Carry moon-beams home in a jar? | A7 | D7 | G7/ | C . . . And be better off than you are……? Or would you rather be a pig?
| C F | C F | C F | C Am7 . A pig is an animal with dirt on his face. His shoes are a terrible dis- grace. | D7 | G | Am7 D7 | G7 . . . He has no manners when he eats his food. He’s fat and lazy and ex- tremely rude. | C F | C A7 | Dm7 G7 | C . . But if you don’t care a feather or a fig, you may grow up to be a pig.
| A7 | D7 | G7 | C . . Or would you like to swing on a star? Carry moon-beams home in a jar? | A7 | D7 | G7/ | C . . . And be better off than you are……? Or would you rather be a fish?
| C F | C F | C F | C Am7 A fish won’t do anything but swim in a brook. He can’t write his name or read a book. | D7 | G | Am7 D7 | G7 To fool the people is his only thought, and though he’s slippery he still gets caught. | C F | C A7 | Dm7 G7 C . . But then if that sort of life is what you wish, you may grow up to be a fish.
| A7 | D7 | G7 | C . .
And all the monkeys aren’t in the zoo, every day you meet quite a few. | A7 | D7 | G7 | A7 | Dm7 G7 |C/ Cdim /C/ So, you see it’s all up to you. You can be better than you are. You could be swinging on a star!
