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 don't you blow your top



Ain't no use in divin,' what's the use of jivin'



Straighten up and fly right



Cool down pappa don't 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 story's 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 don't you blow your top



Musical Interlude



Straighten up and fly right, straighten up and stay right



Straighten up and fly right



Cool down pappa don't you blow your top



Ain't no use in divin,' what's the use of jivin'



You better straighten up and fly right



Cool down pappa don't you blow your top



Fly right
