Linda Ronstadt - 'Round Midnight with Nelson Riddle and His Orchestra

Straighten Up and Fly Right

The buzzard took the 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

Ain't no use in jivin'
What's the use in divin'
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top

The buzzard told the monkey you're chokin' me
Release your hold, and I'll set you free
The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye
And said your story's touching, but it sounds like a lie

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

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

Fly right
