Текст песни
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 of 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,
You're chokin' me.
Release your hold and I'll 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 boys...
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.
Fly right!
