Straighten Up & Fly Right Lyrics

(Nat King Cole, Irving Mills)

A buzzard took a monkey for a ride in the air
The monkey thought that everything was on the square

The buzzard tried to toss the monkey of of his back
But the monkey grabbed his 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 diving
What's the use of diving
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down papa don't you 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 eyeAndrews Sisters, The - Straighten Up & Fly Right - http://motolyrics.com/andrews-sisters-the/straighten-up-and-fly-right-lyrics.html
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

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