Natalie Cole - Straighten Up And Fly Right Lyrics
Words and music by Nat King Cole and Irving Mills; American Academy of Music, Mills Music, ASCAPThe buzzert took the monkey for a ride in the airThe monkey thought that everything was on a squareThe buzzert tried to throw the monkey off his backBut the monkey grabbed his neck and said "Now listen jack"Straighten up and fly right, straighten up and stay rightStraighten up and fly rightCool down pappa don't you blow your topAin't no use in divin,' what's the use of jivin'Straighten up and fly rightCool down pappa don't you blow your topThe buzzert told the monkey you are chokin meRelease your hold and I will set you freeThe monkey looked the buzzert right dead in the eyeAnd said "Your story's so touching but it sounds like a lie"Straighten up and fly right, straighten up and stay rightStraighten up and fly rightCool down pappa don't you blow your topMusical InterludeStraighten up and fly right, straighten up and stay rightStraighten up and fly rightCool down pappa don't you blow your topAin't no use in divin,' what's the use of jivin'You better straighten up and fly rightCool down pappa don't you blow your topFly right
