    4/4 1...2...1234

    Intro: Lines 5 and 6 ("Straighten up....)

    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 fly right

    Straighten up and fly right, cool down papa don’t you blow your top

    Ain’t no use in diving, what’s the use of jiving

    Straighten up and fly right, cool down papa don’t you blow your top
    p.2 Straighten Up and Fly Right

    The buzzard told the monkey you are choking me

    Re-lease your hold and I will set you free

    The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye

    And said your story’s so touching, but it’s 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

    Ain’t no use in diving, what’s the use of jiving

    Straighten up and fly right, cool down papa don’t you blow your

    Cool down papa don’t you blow your, cool down papa don't you blow.....your

    Cool down papa don't you blow your top!
