"Swinging on a Star": versiones

De Hudson Hawk, una peli muy divertida y con un elenco del carajo, Danny Aiello y Bruce Willis cantan:

Y la versión del maestro, Frank Sinatra:



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?

A mule is an animal with long, funny ears
He 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

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'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
You may grow up to be a pig

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 all the people is his only thought
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 a 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.

superduper! y Bruce estaba tan joven y tan bueno como en Moonlighting!

Me di cuenta después de que las versiones son distintas: en la peli, la parte del pig es la tercera y en la canción de Frank es la segunda, como indica la letra. Serán cuestiones de la magia del cine, jaja!

Me gusta más la versión de Bing Crosby, pero capaz es porque fumaba en pipa.
