The buzzard took the 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:
"Hey 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 divin'
What's the use in jivin'
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top
The buzzard told the monkey "You're chokin' me
Release your hold and I'll set you free
The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye, said:
"Your story's touching but it sounds like a lie"
Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and do right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top
ย
Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top

The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye and said:
"Your story's touching but it sounds like a lie"
Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and do right
Straighten up and sway
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top
