Straighten Up and Fly Right - Suzy Bogguss/Ray Benson

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 of 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 bubba 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 bubba don't you blow your top

The buzzard told the monkey you are choking me

Release your hold and I will set you free

Monkey looked the buzzard

Right dead in the eye and said

Your story is so touching

But it sounds just like a lie

So straighten up and fly right

Straighten up and stay right

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down bubba don't you blow your top

Straighten up and fly right

Straighten up and stay right

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down bubba don't you blow your

Fly right
