Straighten Up and Fly Right

Straighten Up and Fly Right - Everlasting Jazz

The buzzard took the monkey for a ride in the air

The monkey thought that everything was on a square

Buzzard tried to throw the monkey off his back

But the monkey grabbed his neck and said

Hey listen jack

Straighten up and fly right

Straighten up and stay right

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down pappa 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 pappa 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 like a lie

So straighten up and fly right

Straighten up and stay right

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down pappa 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 like a lie so

Straighten up and fly right

Straighten up

Straighten up and stay right

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down pappa don't you blow your top
