| The buzzard took the 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 fly right |
| Straighten up and fly right |
| Cool down papa don’t you blow your top |
| Ain’t no use in jivin' |
| What’s the use in divin' |
| 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 touching but it sounds like a lie |
| Straighten up and fly right |
| Straighten up and do right |
| Straighten up and fly right |
| Cool down papa don’t you blow your top |
| Straighten up and fly right |
| Straighten up and do right |
| Straighten up and fly right |
| Cool down papa don’t you blow your top |
| Fly right |
