Andrew Sisters - Straighten Up & Fly Right lyrics

rate me

(Nat King Cole, Irving Mills)

A buzzard took a monkey for a ride in the air

The monkey thought that everything was on the square

The buzzard tried to toss the monkey of of his back

But the monkey grabbed his neck and said now listen jack

Straighten up and fly right

Straighten up and fly right

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down papa don't you blow your top

Ain't no use in diving

What's the use of diving

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down papa don’t you blow your top

The buzzard told the monkey you are choking 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, 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

The buzzard told the monkey you are choking 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, 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
