Robbie Williams - Straighten Up And Fly Right Lyrics

Robbie Williams Lyrics

"Straighten Up And Fly Right"

A buzzard took a 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 stay 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 in jivin'?
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top

The buzzard told the monkey
"You are chokin' me
Release your hold and I will set you free."
The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye and 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

Take it away, boys

Woo, hold that, daddy

Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top

Ain't no use in diving
Ain't no good in jiving
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top

Fly right!
