Straighten Up And Fly Right

Nat King Cole - Straighten Up And Fly Right

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 Now listen, Jack

Straighten up and fly right

Straighten up and fly right

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down, papa, dont you blow your top.

Aint no use in dabbin

Whats the use in jivin

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down, papa, dont you blow your top.

The buzzard told the monkey Youre chokin me

Release your hold and Ill set you free

The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye and said

Your storys fetchin but it sounds like a lie

Straighten up and fly right

Straighten up and do right

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down, papa, dont you blow your top.

(instrumental interlude)

Straighten up and fly right

Straighten up and do right

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down, papa, dont you blow your top.
