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
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 touching but 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.
Fly Right
