This year for the Cushion Concert we will be singing a version of "Swing on a Star". The original was sung by Bing Crosby but it was recovered by 'Spooky and Sue'. We will reproduce the 1970's version of it. Have a listen kids and get familiar with the words.



Swing on a Star

Would ya like to swing on a star
carry moonbeams home in a jar
(one moon beams, two moon beams)
and be better off than you are
(ahaha)
or would you rather be a mule
(Yeah, yeah tell ‘em ‘bout a mule now)
A mule is an animal with long funny ears
he kicks up at anything he hears
(aha)
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
(which I do)
You may grow up to be a mule
(I don’t want to grow up to be a mule)
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
(Yeah, yeah tell ‘em ‘bout a pig now)
A pig is an animal with dirt on his face
his shoes are a terrible disgrace
He’s 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
(which I don’t)
you may grow up to be a pig
(I don’t wanna grow up to be a pig)

Instrumental

Would ya like to swing on a star
carry moonbeams home in a jar
(One moonbeams, two moonbeams)
and be better off than you are
We could be swinging on a star
We could be swinging on a star
We could be swinging on a mmm
We could be swinging on a star
We could be swinging on a star
