Straighten Up & Fly Right
Words and music by nat king cole and irving mills; american academy of music, mills music, ascap
The buzzert took the monkey for a ride in the air
The monkey thought that everything was on a square
The buzzert 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 pappa dont you blow your top
Aint no use in divin, whats the use of jivin
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down pappa dont you blow your top
The buzzert told the monkey you are chokin me
Release your hold and I will set you free
The monkey looked the buzzert right dead in the eye
And said your storys 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 pappa dont you blow your top
Musical interlude
Straighten up and fly right, straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down pappa dont you blow your top
Aint no use in divin, whats the use of jivin
You better straighten up and fly right
Cool down pappa dont you blow your top
Fly right
song performed by Natalie Cole
