Oscar Peterson Trio - Straighten Up And Fly Right lyrics
rate meA buzzard took a monkey for a ride in the air<br />
The monkey thought that everything was on the square<br />
The buzzard tried to throw the monkey off his back<br />
But the monkey grabbed his neck and said, "Now listen, Jack"<br />
<br />
Straighten up and fly right<br />
Straighten up and fly right<br />
Straighten up and fly right<br />
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top<br />
<br />
Ain't no use in divin'<br />
What's the use of jivin'<br />
Straighten up and fly right<br />
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top<br />
<br />
The buzzard told the monkey, "You are chokin' me<br />
Release your hold and I will set you free"<br />
The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye and said<br />
"Your story's so touchin' but it sounds just like a lie"<br />
<br />
Straighten up and fly right<br />
Straighten up and stay right<br />
Straighten up and fly right<br />
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top<br />
<br />
Straighten up and fly right<br />
Straighten up and stay right<br />
Straighten up and fly right<br />
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top
