Straighten Up And Fly Right

Straighten Up And Fly Right - Nat King Cole Trio

The buzzard took the monkey for a ride in the air

The monkey thought that everything was on a square

The buzzard tried to throw the monkey off his back

But the monkey grabbed his neck and said

Niw listen Jack

Straighten up and fly right

Straighten up and fly 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

Straighten up and fly right

Straighten up and stay right

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down pappa don't you blow your top

Straighten up and fly right

Straighten up and stay right

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down pappa don't you blow your top

Fly right
