(Nat King Cole/ Irving Mills)
|
|
A 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
|
But the monkey grabbed his neck
|
And said listen up Jack
|
|
Straighten up and fly right
|
Straighten up and fly right
|
Straighten up and fly right
|
Cool down papa don't blow your top
|
Ain't any use in divin 'what's the use in jivin'
|
Straighten up and fly right
|
Cool down papa don't 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
|
He said your story's so touching but it sounds like a lie
|
|
Straighten up and fly right
|
Straighten up and fly right
|
Straighten up and fly right
|
Cool down papa don't blow your top
|
