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 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, dont you blow your top
Aint no use in divin
Whats the use of jiving
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down papa, dont you blow your top
The buzzard told the monkey, you are choking me
Release your hold, and I will set you free
The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye
And said, Your story is 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, dont you blow your top
