Chorus

A [G] fish won’t do [C] anything, but [G] swim in a [C] brook,He [G] can’t write his [C] name or read a [G] book.To [A7] fool the people is his [D7] only thoughtAnd [Em7] though he’s [A7] slippery, he [D7] still gets caughtBut then if [G] that sort of [C] life is what you [G] wish [E7][Am7] You may grow [D7] up to be a [G] fish.

And all the [E7] monkeys aren’t in the [A7] zooEvery [D7] day you meet quite a [G] few.So you [E7] see it’s all up to [A7] you[D7] You can be better than you [G] are, [Em7][Am7] You could be [D7] swingin’ on a [G] star.
