You should dum-dum-dum fly right
You know
You should dum-dum-dum fly right
If you're gonna fly
You should, I wish you would fly right
You need to fly right
You should, I wish you would fly right
Straighten up, you better fly right
Fly, straighten up and stay right
Fly, straighten up and stay right
Da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, stay right
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
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 (Blow your top)
Ain't no use in divin' (No divin')
What's the use of jivin'?
Straighten up and fly right
Cool, 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 his eye
And said, "Your story's so touching, it sounds like a lie"
Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up, straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top (Your top)

Cool down, cool down, cool down
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 his eye
And said, "Your story's so touching, it sounds like a lie"
Straighten up, papa
Straighten up, papa
Won't you please stay right?
Keep it cool, keep it cool
Keep it cool, daddy, don't you blow your top
Fly right, papa
Oh, straighten up, papa
Won't you please stay right?
Straighten up, papa
Won't you please stay right?
Keep it cool, daddy, don't you blow your top
Fly right, papa
Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up, straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, blow your top
Ain't no use in divin' (No divin')
What's the use in ivy-jivin'?
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top (Your top)
