Nnenna Freelon - Straighten Up And Fly Right lyrics

You know If you're gonna fly You need to fly right Straighten up, you better fly, straighten up Fly but straighten up and stay right Fly but straighten up and stay right Stay right 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 of 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 Oh, cool down bubba, don't you blow your top Ain't no use in diving What's the use of jiving? Straighten up and fly right Cool, cool down bubba, don't you blow your top The buzzard told the monkey, "You are choking me Release your hold and I'll set you free" The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in his eyes He said, "Your story's so touching, sounds like a lie" Straighten up and fly right Straighten up and stay right Straighten up, straighten up and fly right Cool down bubba, your top Cool down, cool down, cool down Bubba, don't you blow your top The buzzard told the monkey, "You are choking me Release your hold and I'll set you free" The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in his eyes He said, "Your story's so touching, it sounds like a lie" Straighten up bubba Keep it cool, keep it cool Fly right bubba Oh, straighten up bubba Oh, won't you please stay right? Keep it cool Fly away bubba Straighten up and fly right Straighten up and stay right Straighten up, straighten up and fly right Cool down bubba, blow your top Ain't no use in diving What's the use [Incomprehensible] jiving? Straighten up and fly right Cool down bubba, don't you blow your top
