Buzzard took a monkey for a ride in the air
  Monkey thought that everything on the square
  Buzzard tried to throw the monkey off of his back
  But the monkey turned around and said, 'Hey listen Jack!'
  
  Straighten up and fly right
  Straighten up and stay right
  Straighten up and fly right
  Cool down bubba don't you blow your top
  
  Ain't no use in jiving
  What's the use of diving
  Straighten up and fly right
  Cool down bubba don't you blow your top
  
  Well the buzzard told the monkey you are choking me
  Release your hold and I will set you free
  Monkey looked the buzzard 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
