Straighten Up and Fly Right
Oh, 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
Doo-roo-roo, straighten up and fly right
Doo-roo-roo, straighten up and fly right
Doo-roo-roo, straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top, oh
What's the use in diving?
They had no use in diving
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top"
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 of 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 diving
What's the use in diving?
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top"
The buzzard told the monkey, "You are choking 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 so touching, it sounds 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 fly right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top
Ain't no use in diving
What's the use in diving?
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top, oh
Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top
