A 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
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 PAPA
DON'T YOU BLOW
YOUR TOP
AIN'T NO USE IN DIVIN'
WHAT'S THE USE
OF JIVIN'
STRAIGHTEN UP
AND FLY RIGHT
COOL DOWN PAPA
DON'T YOU BLOW
YOUR TOP
THE BUZZARD
TOLD THE MONKEY
YOU ARE CHOKING ME
RELEASE YOUR HOLD
AND I WILL
SET YOU FREE
THE MONKEY
LOOKED THE BUZZARD
RIGHT DEAD IN THE EYE
HE SAID YOUR STORY'S
SO TOUCHING
BUT IT SOUNDS
JUST 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
40 BAR
INSTRUMENTAL
BREAK
STRAIGHTEN UP
AND FLY RIGHT
STRAIGHTEN UP
AND STAY RIGHT
STRAIGHTEN UP
AND FLY RIGHT
COOL DOWN PAPA
DON'T YOU BLOW
YOUR TOP
FLY RIGHT
