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
