Straighten Up And Fly Right
Dianne Reeves

A buzzard took the 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're chokin' me
Release your hold and I'll set you free
The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye and said
You know your story's touching but it sounds like a lie

Ohh, straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, Papa, cool down, Papa
Papa, don't you blow your top
