Natalie Cole - Straighten Up and Fly Right lyrics

A buzzard took a monkey for a ride in the air Monkey thought that everything was on the square The buzzard tried to throw the monkey off his back But 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 of 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 will set you free" The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye And said "Your story's so touching but it sounds 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 [interlude] 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 of jivin' You better, straighten up and fly right Cool down papa don't you blow your top Fly right
