Straighten up & Fly Right Lyrics

A buzzard took a 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 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 in jivin'? Straighten up and fly right Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top.
The buzzard told the monkey, "You are chokin' me Release your hold and I will set you free" The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye and said "Your story's 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!
Ooh, hold that daddy
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' Ain't no good in jivin'? Straighten up and fly right Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top
Fly right!
