Straighten Up and Fly Right Songtext
von Take 6

You should fly right...

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'
Now 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 touching but 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
Your top

The monkey told the buzzard "You're 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 touching but it sounds like a lie"
Straighten up papa,
Well, straighten up papa, won't you please stay right
Cool down daddy, don't you blow your top
Fly right papa
Well, straighten up papa, won't you please stay right
Cool down daddy, don't you blow your top
Fly right papa


Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down papa don't you blow your top
Blow your top
Ain't no use in divin'
What's the use of jivin'
Now straighten up and fly right
Cool down papa, don't you blow your top.
Don't you blow your top
