Straighten Up and Fly Right (feat. Imelda May & Till Brönner) [Live]

A buzzard took the monkey for a ride in the air
The monkey thought that ev'rything was on the square
The buzzard tried to throw the monkey off his back
But the monkey grabbed his neck and said, "Now, listen, Jack"

Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and fly right (oh)
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down papa, don't you blow your top

Ain't no use in divin' (ain't no use, no no)
What's the use of jivin' (what's the use of jivin')
Straighten up and fly right (straighten up, yeah)
Cool down papa, don't you blow your top

The buzzard told the monkey,"You are choking 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 so touching, but is sounds just like lies"

Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Straighten up and fly right (ooh ooh, yeah)
Cool down papa, don't you blow your top

Oh, the buzzard told the monkey, "You are choking 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 so touching, but is sounds just like bull"

Straighten up and fly right (yeah)
Straighten up and stay right (ooh ooh, ooh)
Straighten up and fly right (doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
Cool down papa, don't you blow your top

Straighten up and fly right (straighten up, what-what)
Straighten up and stay right (ooh, stay right)
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down papa, don't you blow your top
Fly right
