Straighten up and fly right!

Written by Nat King Cole and Irving Mills

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 OF 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!)

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',
Ain't no good in jivin'!
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow - your - top.

Fly right!




hehehe.Kinda glad I have someone to say that to me. Your perspective needs a lil shakin up sometimes, reminded what matters and what doesn't, and why hanging on is important, and why to what you want, and why not to what you're supposed to want, and why its ok to be you, without guilt, which is stupid enough to begin with.
Someone relly wise once told me its hard enough to be yourself, dont compound your miseries trying to be someone else.
yup.
