Straighten Up And Fly Right

Hoggard Jacob

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 his back,
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.
What's the use in jivin'?
Ain't no use in divin',
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'll set you free.
The monkey looked the buzzard right 
dead in the eye and said,
Your story's so 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.

Fly Right
