The buzzard took the 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, dont you blow your top.
Ain't no use in jivin'
What's the use in divin'
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 story's fetchin' but it sounds like a lie

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

(instrumental interlude)

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