Lyrics George Benson

George Benson

Straighten Up and Fly Right

A buzzard took 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

But 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 divin'

What's the use in jivin'

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top.

The buzzard told the monkey
