(Nat King Cole and Irving Mills)
|
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 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 don't you blow your top
|
|
Ain't no use in jivin'
|
What's the use in divin'
|
Straighten up and fly right
|
Cool down papa don't you blow your top
|
|
The buzzard told the monkey you're chokin' me
|
Release your hold and I'll set you free
|
The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye
|
And said your story's touching but it sounds like a lie
|
|
Straighten up and fly right
|
Straighten up and do right
|
Straighten up and fly right
|
Cool down papa don't you blow your top
|
|
Straighten up and fly right
|
Straighten up and do right
|
Straighten up and fly right
|
Cool down papa don't you blow your top
|
|
Fly right
|
