But by the way, [G] if you hate to go [Am] to school, _
[Gm] you [C] may grow up to [F] be a mule.
Oh, would [D] you like to swing [G] on a [D] star?
[C] Carry me so [F] many stars.

[F] _ [G] He's foolish, _ he's only slotty,
though he still [C] gets caught.
But [F] then if that [Gm] sort of life is what [Am] you wish, _
[G] you [C] may grow up to [F] be a fish.
And all [D] the monkeys are dinosaurs.
