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 Cow?

A Cow is a ruminant; that means it chews cud
It walks single file through the mud
It goes in the morning to graze in the field
And comes home at night for a baled hay meal
And when it gets big enough for farmer Klaus
He’ll take it to the slaughterhouse.

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 Moose?

A Moose is an animal; the largest of deer
He walks through the north woods without fear
And on his head he has an awesome rack
And this invites a yearly attack
Then he responds to a female moose’s call
And winds up on some hunters wall.

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 Snail?

A Snail is a mollusk with a house on its back
Related to a mussel or a clam
And over in France they really love the snail
Though it’s never seen at a half off sale
‘Cause they’ll put six or seven of them on a plate
And charge you $14.98

I’ve never seen rabbits at the zoo
They’re likely to be found in a stew
And so you see it’s all up to you
You could be better than you are
You could be swinging on a star.
