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 of his back
But the monkey grabbed its 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 divin'
What's the use of jivin'?
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, Papa, 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, it sounds just like a lie
Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top
