Would you like to swing on a star, carry moonbeams home in a jar?
One moonbeam, two moonbeams
And be better off than you are or would you rather be a mule?
(Yeah, yeah, tell 'em 'bout a mule now)

A mule is an animal with long funny ears
He kicks up at anything he hears
His back is brawny and his brain is weak
He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak

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?
Yeah, yeah, tell 'em 'bout a pig now

A pig is an animal with dirt on his face
His shoes are a terrible disgrace
He's got no manners when he eats his food (Nor you farmer)
He's fat and lazy and extremely rude
