Swinging On A Star
Intérprete: Bing Crosby
Composição: Johnny Burke & Jimmy Van Heusen
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

Você quer passear lá no céu
Ver estrelas na Lua a cantar
É melhor você ficar onde está
Ou na Terra vai parar
Na Terra tem um ser estranho como ele só
E ele é tão vazio que dá dó
Seu corpo é de forma diferente
E o sangue é quente…é ver pra crer!
Mas agora um conselho eu vou te dar
É melhor ficar a aonde está
Você quer passear lá no céu
Ver estrelas na Lua a cantar
É melhor você ficar onde está
Ou na Terra vai dançar
Ou na Terra vai dançar
