[Ebm] [Eb]
[F]
[Bb] [Eb]
[F] Oh, would [Bb] you rather be [Eb] a mule?
[Bb]
[Eb] A mule is [Ab] an animal [Eb] but nobody [Ab] is.
[Eb] He kicks [Ab] out of anything [Eb] he hears.
[E] [F] His back is downy and [Bb] his brain is empty.
[F] He's just playing stupid.
[Bb] The snowboard's quick and [Eb] by the way,
if [Ab] you hate to go [Eb] to school, which I [C] do,
[F] you may [Bb] go out with [Eb] me a few.
No, I don't want to [Bb] grow up to be a mule.
Would [Eb] you like to swing on [F] a star?
[Bb] Dab your moonbeams, hold me in [Eb] a jar.
And be a better man in [F] a while.
[Bb] Oh, would you rather [Eb] be a pig?
Yeah, yeah, I'd tell that to Pig.
Pig [Ab] is an [Eb] animal, a [Ab] dot on his face.
[Eb] It's used [Ab] for a terrible [Eb] disgrace.
[F] He's got no manners [Bb] when he eats his food.
[F] He's fat and lazy [Bb] and extremely rude.
But [Eb] if you don't [Ab] care a matter [Eb] of faith,
which [C] I do, [F] you may [Bb] grow up with me.
[Eb] I don't want to grow [Bb] up to be a pig.

[B] Would [E] you like to swing [Gb] on a star?

We [B] could be swinging [E] on a star.
[Dbm] [A]
