Straighten Up And Fly Right

Robbie Williams

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
Why chokin' me
Release 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 sounds jes' 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

Take it away, boy

Whoo
Hold that, daddy
Hihihi 

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

Uh, fly right!
