Would you like to swing on a star
(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 mule?
(Or would you rather be a pig?
Or would you rather be a fish?)
Would you like to swing on a star
(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 mule?
(Or would you rather be a pig?
Or would you rather 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.
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.
Если бы все мы исповедались друг другу в своих грехах, то посмеялись бы над тем, сколь мало у нас выдумки. Если бы все мы раскрыли свои добродетели, то посмеялись бы над тем же.
Женщины верят, что они наряжаются ради мужчин или для собственного удовольствия; а по правде, они наряжаются друг для друга.
