Straighten Up And Fly Right - Sammy Davis Jr

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 fly right

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down papa don't you blow your top

Ain't no use in diving

What's the use of jiving

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down papa don't you blow your top

The buzzard told the monkey

You are choking me

Release your hold and I'll set you free

The monkey looked the buzzard right

Dead in the eye 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
