A mule is an an-i-mal with long fun-ny ears
-3   3   -3 3  4 -3  -2   -1   3
He kicks up at an-y-thing he hears
 3  -2*  -3  -1  -1 -1  -1    3   -4  -1
His back is brawn-y and his brain is weak
 -1   -3    4   -1  -1 
He's just plain stu-pid 
 -1 -1  -4   -5    -5
with a stub-born streak
 4  -4 -3   3   -3  3   4   -3 -2 -1   3
And by the way, if you hate to go to school
-5   6   -5  -6 -5 -4 3  4
You may grow up to be a mule

-5*  6   -5*  6   -3  -3   6 -5* -5
Or would you like to swing on a star
-5  5*  -5    3     3  -5 5* 5 
Car-ry moon-beams home in a jar
 6  -5* 6  -3  -3    6  -5* -5
And be bet-ter off than you are
-5   6   -5   -6  -5 -4 3   4
Or would you rath-er be a mule?

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 pig?

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

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?

-5*  6  -5*  6   -3    -3   6  -5* -5
And all the mon-keys aren't in the zoo
-5  5* -5   3    3    -5  5* 5
Ev-‘ry day you meet quite a few
6  -5*  6   -3  -3  6  -5* -5
So you see it's all up to you
-5   6  -5 -6  -5   -4   3   4 
You can be bet-ter than you are
-5    6   -5  -6   -5  -4 3   4
You could be swing-ing on a star
