Artist/Band: Nat King Cole
Lyrics for Song: Straighten Up And Fly Right
Lyrics for Album: Jukebox Hits 1942-1953 [2011]



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!
