Nat "King" Cole - Straighten Up and Fly Right Lyrics

Lyrics Straighten Up and Fly Right - Nat King Cole Trio



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
But 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
Fly right
