Straighten Up and Fly Right

Straighten Up and Fly Right - Carmen McRae

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 that monkey off his back

But he grabbed his neck and said hey listen Jack

Straighten up and fly right

Straighten up and fly right

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down dad don't you blow your top

Ain't no need in dabbing

What is the sense of jabbing

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down dad don't you blow your top

The buzzard told the monkey you're choking me

Release your hold and I'll set you free

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

Your storys so teaching but is sounds like a lie

Straighten up and fly right

Straighten up and stay right

Straighten up and fly right

Why don't you took down dad

The buzzard told the monkey you're choking me

Right release your hold and I'll set you free

But he looked him in the eye and said

You must think I'm a fool I'm not that's a lie

Straighten up and fly right

You had better traighten up and stay right

Straighten up and fly right

Listen here

There is no human dying

What's the waper want through life

With the monkey stay up on his back

So why don't you

Cool down dad don't you blow your top

Fly right
