Straighten Up and Fly Right
Buzzard took a monkey for a ride in the air
Monkey thought that everything on the square
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 stay 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 jiving
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
Monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye and said
"Your story is so 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
Take it away boys
Hold that daddy
Hi, hi, hi
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 diving
Ain't no good in jiving
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down papa don't you blow your top
And
fly right
