Lyrics Straighten up and Fly Right - Nat "King" Cole
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
stay
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
in
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'll
set
you
free.
The
monkey
looked
the
buzzard
right
Dead
in
the
eye
and
said,
Your
story's
so
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.
Ain't
no
use
in
divin'
Ain't
no
good
in
jivin'
Straighten
up
and
fly
right
Cool
down,
papa,
don't
you
blow
- your
- top.
Fly
right!
