Straighten up & Fly Right
The buzzard took the monkey for a ride in the airThe monkey thought that ev'rything was on the squareThe buzzard tried to throw the monkey off his backThe monkey grabbed his neck and said, "Now, listen, JackStraighten up and fly right, straighten up and fly rightStraighten up and fly right, cool down papa, don't you blow your topAin't no use in divin'. What's the use of jivin'?Straighten up and fly right, cool down papa, don't you blow your top"The buzzard told the monkey, "You're choking meRelease your hold and I'll set you free"The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye and said"Your story's touching, but is sounds like a lie"Straighten up and fly right, straighten up and stay rightStraighten up and fly right, cool down papa, don't you blow your top
