Straighten Up And Fly Right
Lyrics 
The buzzard took the monkey for a ride in the air
The monkey thought that everything was on a 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
And said, "Your story's so touching but it sounds like a lie"
Cool down pappa, don't you blow your top
The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye
Straighten up and stay right
Cool down pappa, don't you blow your top
The buzzard told the monkey you are chokin' me
Cool down pappa, don't you blow your top
But the monkey grabbed his neck and said "Now listen Jack"
The buzzard tried to throw the monkey off his back

Cool down pappa, don't you blow your top
