Lyric 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 touchin , 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
