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
|
don't you blow your top
|
Ain't no use in jivin'
|
What's the use in divin'
|
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
|
And 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
|
<Interlude>
|
Straighten up and fly right
|
Straighten up and do right
|
Straighten up and fly right
|
Cool down papa
|
don't you blow your top
|
Fly right
|
