A buzzard took a monkey for a ride in the air
The monkey thought that everything was on the square
The buzzard tried to shake that monkey off his back
But the monkey turned around and said, “Hey, listen, Jack.”
Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up, stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, daddy
Don’t you blow your top
Ain’t no sense in divin’
What is the sense in jivin’?
Straighten up and fly right
Don’t you blow your top
The buzzard tells the monkey that “You’re choking me
Release your hold, I will set you free”
The monkey looks the buzzard dead in the еye
“Your story’s very touching but I know it’s a lie.”
Straightеn up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, daddy
Don’t you blow your top
You know that the buzzard told the monkey “You’re choking me
You better release your hold, I’ll set you free”
The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye
“Your story’s very touching but I know it’s a lie.”
Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, daddy
Don’t you blow your top
Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, daddy
Don’t you blow your top
You better…
You wanna…
I mean it
Try to…
You better straighten up and fly right
Cool down, daddy
Don’t you blow your top
