Der Songtext "Straighten up and Fly Right" von Nat King Cole erzählt eine Geschichte von einem Affen und einem Geier, di...

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!
