"Your story is so touching, but it sounds just like a lie"
Cool down bubba don't you blow your top
Release your hold and I will set you free
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down bubba don't you blow your top
But the monkey grabbed his neck and said, "Now listen Jack"
Ain't no use in diving

Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
The buzzard tried to throw the monkey off of his back
Straighten up and fly right

Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down bubba don't you blow your
So straighten up and fly right

Straighten up and fly right
Fly right
Straighten up and stay right

Cool down bubba don't you blow your top
The buzzard told the monkey you are choking me
Straighten up and fly right
Monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye and said
What's the use of jiving
