Straighten Up And Fly Right Lyrics - Inspiration: A Tribute To Nat King Cole - George Benson

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 

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 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 

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' 

Ain't no good in jivin' 

Straighten up and fly right 

Cool down, papa, don't you blow - your - top 

Fly right!
