Straighten Up and Fly Right

You should fly right...

A buzzard took a monkey for a ride in the air

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 stay 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 of jivin'

Now straighten up and fly right

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

The 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 sounds 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

Your top

The monkey told the buzzard "You're 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 sounds like a lie"

Straighten up papa,

Well, straighten up papa, won't you please stay right

Cool down daddy, don't you blow your top

Fly right papa

Well, straighten up papa, won't you please stay right

Cool down daddy, don't you blow your top

Fly right papa

Straighten up and fly right

Straighten up and stay right

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down papa don't you blow your top

Blow your top

Ain't no use in divin'

What's the use of jivin'

Now straighten up and fly right

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

Don't you blow your top
