Lyrics

Ah, 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 Oh, 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 Yeah, cool down papa, don't you blow your top Well, the buzzard told the monkey, "You are chokin' 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 it sounds like a lie" Straighten up and fly right Straighten up and fly right Straighten up and fly right Oh, cool down papa, baby, cool down Well, the buzzard told the monkey, "You are 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" Ooh, straighten up and fly right Straighten up, straighten up, straighten up Straighten up, fly right Papa, cool down papa, cool down Straighten up and fly right Straighten up and fly right Straighten up and fly right Oh, cool down papa, don't you blow your top And fly right
