[Verse 1] 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... [Chorus] Straighten up and fly right Straighten up and stay right Straighten up and fly right Cool down, papa Dont you blow your top Aint no use in diving Whats the use in jiving? Straighten up and fly right Cool down, papa Dont you blow your top [Verse 2] The buzzard told the monkey you are choking me Release your hold and Ill set you free The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye and said Your storys so touching, but it sounds just like a lie. [Chorus] Straighten up and fly right Straighten up and stay right Straighten up and fly right Cool down, papa Dont you blow your top Aint no use in diving Whats the use in jiving? Straighten up and fly right Cool down, papa Dont you blow your top [Instrumental Bridge] [Outro] Straighten up and fly right Straighten up and stay right Straighten up and fly right Cool down, papa Dont you blow your top Aint no use in diving Whats the use in jiving? Straighten up and fly right Cool down, papa Dont you blow your top
