Straighten Up And Fly Right
A buzzard took a monkey for a ride in the air
The monkey thought that everything was on the square
The buzzard tried to throw the monkey off his back
The monkey grabbed his neck and said, now listen, Jack
Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top
But ain't no use in divin'
What's the use in jivin'?
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top
A buzzard told the monkey, you are chokin' me
Release your hold and I will set you free
The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye and said
Your story's touching, but it sound just like a lie
Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top
Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right (come on, baby)
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top
Fly right!
