 Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Nat King Cole
 
 
 
 6339>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!
