Lyrics

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:
 "Hey 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 divin'
 What's the use in jivin'
 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, said:
 "Your story's touching 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 fly right
 Straighten up and fly right
 Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top
 ♪
 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 fly right
 Straighten up and do right
 Straighten up and sway
 Straighten up and fly right
 Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top
