Straighten Up And Fly Right (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

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 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 in jivin’?
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don’t you blow your top.

The buzzard told the monkey,
You’re chokin’ me.
Release your hold and I’ll set you free.
The monkey looked the buzzard right
dead in the eye and said,
Your story’s so touching, but it sounds
jes’ 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.

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!

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

The buzzert took the monkey for a ride in the air

The monkey thought that everything was on a square

The buzzert 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 stay right

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down pappa 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 pappa don’t you blow your top

The buzzert told the monkey you are chokin me

Release your hold and i will set you free

The monkey looked the buzzert right dead in the eye

And said "your story’s so touching but it sounds like a lie"

Straighten up and fly right, straighten up and stay right

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down pappa don’t you blow your top

Musical interlude

Straighten up and fly right, straighten up and stay right

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down pappa don’t you blow your top

Ain’t no use in divin,’ what’s the use of jivin’

You better straighten up and fly right

Cool down pappa don’t you blow your top

The 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
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 jivin’ "
"what’s the use in dabbin’ "
"straighten up and fly right"
"cool down, papa, don’t you blow your top."

The buzzard told the monkey "you’re chokin’ me"
"release your hold and i’ll set you free"
The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye and said
"your story’s fetchin’ but it sounds like a lie"

"straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and do right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don’t you blow your top."

(instrumental interlude)

"straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and do right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don’t you blow your top."
