Swinging On A Star by Johhny Burke & Jimmy Van Heusen, sung by Bing Crosby 1944 Chorus: Would you [E7] like to swing on a [A7] star? Carry [D7] moonbeams home in a [G] jar? And be [E7] better off than you [A7] are [D7] Or would you rather be a [G] mule? (pig?, fish?) A [G] mule is an [C] animal with [G] long funny [C] ears [G] Kicks up at [C] anything he [G] hears. His [A7] back is brawny but his [D7] brain is weak He’s [Em7] just plain [A7] stupid with a [D7] stubborn streak And by the [G] way, if you [C] hate to go to [G] school. [E7] [Am7] You may grow [D7] up to be a [G] mule. Chorus A [G] pig is an [C] animal with [G] dirt on his [C] face His [G] shoes are a [C] terrible [G] disgrace. He [A7] has no manners when he [D7] eats his food He’s [Em7] fat and [A7] lazy and [D7] extremely rude But if you [G] don’t care a [C] feather or a [G] fig [E7] [Am7] You may grow [D7] up to be a [G] pig. Chorus A [G] fish won’t do [C] anything, but [G] swim in a [C] brook, He [G] can’t write his [C] name or read a [G] book. To [A7] fool the people is his [D7] only thought And [Em7] though he’s [A7] slippery, he [D7] still gets caught But then if [G] that sort of [C] life is what you [G] wish [E7] [Am7] You may grow [D7] up to be a [G] fish. And all the [E7] monkeys aren’t in the [A7] zoo Every [D7] day you meet quite a [G] few. So you [E7] see it’s all up to [A7] you [D7] You can be better than you [G] are, [Em7] [Am7] You could be [D7] swingin’ on a [G] star. This song is cribbed from a Cardiff Uke Nights songbook.
