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. 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.
