A
buzzard
took
the
monkey
for
a
ride
in
the
air
Un
vautour
a
emmené
le
singe
faire
un
tour
dans
les
airs
The
monkey
thought
that
everything
was
on
the
square
Le
singe
pensait
que
tout
était
juste
The
buzzard
tried
to
throw
the
monkey
off
his
back
Le
vautour
a
essayé
de
jeter
le
singe
de
son
dos
But
the
monkey
grabbed
his
neck
and
said--
Now
listen,
Jack
Mais
le
singe
s'est
accroché
à
son
cou
et
a
dit
: "Écoute,
Jack"
Straighten

Redresse-toi

Il
ne

de

The
buzzard
told
the
monkey
"You′re
chokin'
me
Le
vautour
a
dit
au
singe
: "Tu
m'étouffes"
Release
your
hold
and
I′ll
set
you
free
Lâche
prise
et
je
te
libérerai"
The
monkey
looked
the
buzzard
right
dead
in
the
eye
and
said
Le
singe
a
regardé
le
vautour
droit
dans
les
yeux
et
a
dit
Your
story's
touching
but
it
sounds
like
a
lie
Ton
histoire
est
touchante,
mais
ça
ressemble
à
un
mensonge"
Straighten

Redresse-toi
et
vole
droit
Straighten
up
and
stay
right
Redresse-toi
et
reste

Straighten

you
blow
your

Calme-toi,
papa,
ne
pète
pas
un
câble.
