Straighten Up And Fly Right

The buzzard took the monkey for a ride in the air

The monkey thought that ev'rything 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 divin'. What's the use of jivin'?

Straighten up and fly right, cool down papa, don't you blow your top"

The buzzard told the monkey, "You're choking 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 touching, but is sounds 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
