Nat King Cole Straighten Up and Fly Right

The buzzard took the
Monkey for a ride in the air
The monkey thought that
Everything was on a square
The buzzard tried to throw
The monkey off his back
But the monkey grabbed his
Neck and said "Now listen Jack"

Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down pappa, 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 pappa,
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 but it sounds like a lie"

Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down pappa, don't you blow your top

Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down pappa, don't you blow your top
Fly right
