Straighten Up and Fly Right
The 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-
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'
Straighten up and fly right,
Cool down papa, don't you blow your top"
The buzzard told the monkey, "You're 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 touching, but it sounds like a lie"
Straighten up and fly right,
straighten up and a do right
Straighten up and fly right,
cool down papa, don't you blow your top
Straighten up and fly right,
straighten up do right
cool down
papa, why don't you do your thing
Ain't no use in divin'.
What's the use of jivin'?
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 will set you free"
The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye and said (NEW RIGHT SQUARE)
Your story's touching, but it sounds like a lie"
Straighten up and fly right,
straighten up and stay right
straighten up and stay right
cool down papa, don't you blow your top
cool down papa, don't you blow your top
Fly Right
