A mule is an animal with long funny ears
Kicks up at anything he hears
His back is brawny and 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.
A fish won't do anything, but swim in a brook
He can't write his name or read a book
And 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.
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.
A pig is an animal with dirt on his face
His shoes are a terrible disgrace
He ain't got 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.
Взрослея, мы становимся серьёзнее, и это, позволю себе заметить, первый шаг к тому, чтобы поглупеть.
На честность обижаются, а лицемерие воспринимают всерьез. Свою глупость ценят за легкость мысли, а сказанное великими мыслителями прежде считают личным себе же оскорблением.
Глупость запоминается на всю жизнь, но только не своя. То — не глупость, что оправдывает мой образ жизни.
