Or would you rather be a ....? What is the name and words to this song, please?

I sang this crazy song in an elementry school program e-ons ago. It goes through my brain enough to drive me bonkers sometimes, if I think about it .





Not remembering the words makes it worse.





It goes something like:


a fish is an animal that lives in the sea it can't (blah blah blah) or read a book.... .... .....


or would you rather be a ( some other kind of animal)





one lived in a zoo...couldn't do something or whatever too...


or would you rather be a ( totally blank )





The muppets might have done this at sometime. It would have been years after I did it in school though.





Anyway it's giving me a headache trying to remember the crazy thing.


I can't remember any more.

Or would you rather be a ....? What is the name and words to this song, please?
Swinging on a star, I think ;-)) Here's the text, let me know if this is "your" song?

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 mule





A mule is an animal with long funny ears


Kicks up at anything he hears


His back is brawny but his brain is weak


He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak


And by the way, if you hate to go to school


You may grow up to be a mule





Or 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





A pig is an animal with dirt on his face


His shoes are a terrible disgrace


He has no manners when he eats his food


He's fat and lazy and extremely rude


But if you don't care a feather or a fig


You may grow up to be a pig





Or 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 fish





A fish won't do anything, but swim in a brook


He can't write his name or read a book


To fool the people is his only thought


And though he's slippery, he still gets caught


But then if that sort of life is what you wish


You may grow up to be a fish


A new kind of jumped-up slippery fish





And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo


Every day you meet quite a few


So you see it's all up to you


You can be better than you are


You could be swingin' on a star
