Straighten Up and Fly Right
(Nat King Cole, Irving Mills)
B B7 F G7A buzzard took a monkey for a ride in the air,
B Gm G#m7 G7 B7The monkey thought that ev'rything was on the square.
B B7 F G7The buzzard tried to throw the monkey off of his back,
B G#m G#m7 Cm7-5 B9But the monkey grabbed his neck and said, "Now listen, Jack.
Refrain:
B6 F6"Straighten up and fly right,
B6 Cm7-5 B9Straighten up and fly right,
B6 F6Straighten up and fly right, -
B6 G9 B9Cool down, Papa, don't you blow your top.
B6 F6 B6 Cm7-5Ain't no use in divin', what's the use in drivin'?
B6 F6Straighten up and fly right, -
B6 G#m B9 B7 B6Cool down, Papa, don't you blow your top."
Bridge:
Bm7The buzzard told the monkey, "You are chokin' me;
Gm7 Gm9 F9 Gm9Release your holt and I will set you free."
C9The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye,
C7 B9 Cm7-5 G9 B9And said, "Your story's so touchin' it sounds just like a lie."
