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 stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, dont you blow your top.
Aint no use in divin,
Whats the use in jivin?
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, dont 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 storys so touching, but it sounds
Jes like a lie.

Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, dont you blow your top.

(take it away, boys!)

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 divin,
Whats the use in jivin?
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, dont you blow - your - top.

Fly right!
