Lyrics
Written by nat king cole and irving mills
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 of 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!)
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!
