A buzzard took a monkey for a ride in the air
Monkey thought that everything was on the square
The buzzard 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 papa, 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 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 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
[Interlude]
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 of jivin'
You better, straighten up and fly right
Cool down papa don't you blow your top
Fly right
Avalon lyrics - Natalie Cole
I found my love at Avalon
Beside the bay
I left my love at Avalon
And sailed away
I dream of him at Avalon
From dusk until dawn
And so I think I'll travel on
To Av-va-lon
Yes I found my love at Avalon
Beside the bay
I left my love at Avalon
And sailed away
Oh I, dream of him at Avalon
From dusk until dawn
And so I think I'll travel on
To Av...va-lon...
Beside the bay
I left my love at Avalon
And sailed away
I dream of him at Avalon
From dusk until dawn
And so I think I'll travel on
To Av-va-lon
Yes I found my love at Avalon
Beside the bay
I left my love at Avalon
And sailed away
Oh I, dream of him at Avalon
From dusk until dawn
And so I think I'll travel on
To Av...va-lon...
Don't Get Around Much Anymore lyrics - Natalie Cole
Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore
Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Don't get around much anymore
Darling, I guess my mind's more at ease
But nevertheless, why stir up memories
Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for
Awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore
Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Don't get around much anymore
Darling, I guess my mind's more at ease
But nevertheless, why stir up memories
Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for
Awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore
Too Young lyrics - Natalie Cole
They tried to tell us we're too young
Too young to really be in love
They say that loves a word
A word we've only heard
But can't begin to know
The meaning of
And yet we're not too young to know
This love will last though years may go
And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all
And yet we're not too young to know
That this love will last though years may go
And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all
Too young to really be in love
They say that loves a word
A word we've only heard
But can't begin to know
The meaning of
And yet we're not too young to know
This love will last though years may go
And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all
And yet we're not too young to know
That this love will last though years may go
And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all
Nature Boy lyrics - Natalie Cole
There was a boy...
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wondered very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he
And then one day
One magic day, passed my way
And as we spoke of many things,
Fools and kings,
This he said to me
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
is just to love and be loved in return"
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
is just to love and be loved in return"
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wondered very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he
And then one day
One magic day, passed my way
And as we spoke of many things,
Fools and kings,
This he said to me
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
is just to love and be loved in return"
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
is just to love and be loved in return"
Darling, Je Vous Aime Beaucoup lyrics - Natalie Cole
Darling, je vous aime beaucoup
Je ne sais pas what to do

Almost Like Being In Love lyrics - Natalie Cole
What a day this has been
What a rare mood I'm in
Why it's almost like being in love
There's a smile on my face
For the whole human race
Why it's almost like being in love
there's a music of life; seems to be
Like a bell that is ringing for me
And from the way that I feel
When that bell starts to peel
I would swear I was falling, swear I was falling
- It's almost like being in love
[Instrumental]
The music of life seems to be
Like a bell that is ringing just for me
And from the way that I feel
When that bell starts to peel
I would swear i was falling, swear I was falling
- It's almost like being in love
What a rare mood I'm in
Why it's almost like being in love
There's a smile on my face
For the whole human race
Why it's almost like being in love
there's a music of life; seems to be
Like a bell that is ringing for me
And from the way that I feel
When that bell starts to peel
I would swear I was falling, swear I was falling
- It's almost like being in love
[Instrumental]
The music of life seems to be
Like a bell that is ringing just for me
And from the way that I feel
When that bell starts to peel
I would swear i was falling, swear I was falling
- It's almost like being in love
Thou Swell lyrics - Natalie Cole
Thou swell, thou witty, thou sweet, thou grand
Wouldst kiss me pretty? Wouldst hold my hand?
Both thine eyes are cute too, what they do to me
Hear me holler, I choose a sweet lollapaloosa in thee
I'd feel so rich in a hut for two
Two rooms and kitchen I'm sure would do
Give me just a plot of, not a lot of land
And thou swell, thou witty, thou grand
Wouldst kiss me pretty? Wouldst hold my hand?
Both thine eyes are cute too, what they do to me
Hear me holler, I choose a sweet lollapaloosa in thee
I'd feel so rich in a hut for two
Two rooms and kitchen I'm sure would do
Give me just a plot of, not a lot of land
And thou swell, thou witty, thou grand
Non Dimenticar lyrics - Natalie Cole
Non Dimenticar,
Means don't forget your
my darling
don't forget to be
all you mean to me
Non Dimenticar,
My love is like a star
my darling
Shining bright and clean
just because you're here
please do not forget
That our lips have meant
and I've held you tightly
Was it dreams or though
my heart felt is ...
or just a night here
Non Dimenticar,
although you travel far
my darling
it's my heart you owe
so I'll wait alone
Non Dimenticar...
Means don't forget your
my darling
don't forget to be
all you mean to me
Non Dimenticar,
My love is like a star
my darling
Shining bright and clean
just because you're here
please do not forget
That our lips have meant
and I've held you tightly
Was it dreams or though
my heart felt is ...
or just a night here
Non Dimenticar,
although you travel far
my darling
it's my heart you owe
so I'll wait alone
Non Dimenticar...
Our Love Is Here To Stay lyrics - Natalie Cole
It's very clear
Our love is here to stay
Not for a year
But ever and a day
The radio, and the telephone
And the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies
And in time may go...
But, oh, my dear
Our love is here to stay
Together we're
Going a long, long way
In time the Rockies may tumble
Gibraltar may crumble
They're only made of clay
But, our love is here
To stay
In time the Rockies may tumble
Gibraltar may crumble
They're only made of clay
But, our love is here
Our love is here
Our love is here to stay
Our love is here to stay
Not for a year
But ever and a day
The radio, and the telephone
And the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies
And in time may go...
But, oh, my dear
Our love is here to stay
Together we're
Going a long, long way
In time the Rockies may tumble
Gibraltar may crumble
They're only made of clay
But, our love is here
To stay
In time the Rockies may tumble
Gibraltar may crumble
They're only made of clay
But, our love is here
Our love is here
Our love is here to stay
Unforgettable lyrics - Natalie Cole
Unforgettable, that's what you are
Unforgettable, though near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before has someone been more
Unforgettable in every way
And forevermore (and forevermore)
That's how you'll stay (that's how you'll stay)
That's why darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too
[Musical interlude]
No, never before has someone been more
Ooh unforgettable (unforgettable)
In every way (in every way)
And forevermore (and forevermore)
That's how you'll stay (that's how you'll stay)
That's why darling it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too.
Unforgettable, though near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before has someone been more
Unforgettable in every way
And forevermore (and forevermore)
That's how you'll stay (that's how you'll stay)
That's why darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too
[Musical interlude]
No, never before has someone been more
Ooh unforgettable (unforgettable)
In every way (in every way)
And forevermore (and forevermore)
That's how you'll stay (that's how you'll stay)
That's why darling it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too.
Safe lyric - Natalie Cole
She broke your heart
You fell apart
Boy, you didn't know what hit ya
You never thought that you'd get caught
Doing it again
Now, did ya?
So hard to get so cool and yet
You're lovin' it and you know it
Cause when we meet
We feel the heat
Trying so hard not to show it
In the arms of romance
You say you'll never go back, no way
Just when you thought it was safe
That you could never fall in love again
Just when you thought it was safe
Look what I got'cha thinkin' of again
It took a while to make you smile
Boy, you didn't know what hit ya
Hard as you try, you can't deny
That you're ready now
Would I kid ya?
So take the reins and break the chains
No, you can't hold back forever
You're in control, you're on a roll
And the timing won't get no better
In the arms of romance
You say you'll never go back, no way
Just when you thought it was safe
That you could never fall in love again
Just when you thought it was safe
Look what I got'cha thinkin' of again
It's not a crime to change your mind
People do
It's not so bad, it's easy to
You never know when love will show you the way
You don't belong to yesterday
Just when (oh boy) you thought it was safe
You didn't know what hit ya
Now, did ya?
Ha, ha, ha, yeah, yeah, oh baby
I got'cha thinkin'
Now didn't I, now didn't I
Now didn't I, boy?
Trying hard to be cool
But my love's getting through
You're in trouble
I bet'cha my love is surely gonna get'cha, baby
Just when you thought it was safe
You've been runnin' and hidin'
Slippin' and a-slidin' no more
Just when you thought it was safe
It's not safe
That you could never fall in love again
Just when you thought it was safe
You're in love
Look what I got'cha thinkin' of again
I got'cha thinkin' now, didn't I?
Now I got'cha wonderin', now don't I?
Oh, I got'cha thinkin'
I got'cha thinkin'
My love is gonna get'cha
Looks like my love is getting through
You fell apart
Boy, you didn't know what hit ya
You never thought that you'd get caught
Doing it again
Now, did ya?
So hard to get so cool and yet
You're lovin' it and you know it
Cause when we meet
We feel the heat
Trying so hard not to show it
In the arms of romance
You say you'll never go back, no way
Just when you thought it was safe
That you could never fall in love again
Just when you thought it was safe

As A Matter Of Fact lyrics - Natalie Cole
Blow daddy, oh, yeah
Here we are, standing at the hard line
We made it last this long
The two of us, together since the first time
And I believe our love is still strong
Seems love has a funny way
Well, it can come or go or it can choose to stay
But love says what it has to say
Matter of fact
(Ooh, as a matter of fact)
I love you
(Oh, as a matter of fact)
And I love that you love me back
As a matter of fact
(Ooh, as a matter, a matter)
Some said we wouldn't make it this far
But they don't talk no more
(No more)
The love we share is precious as a big star
And what we have's what others hope for
Seems love has a funny way
Well, it can come or go or it can choose to stay
But love says what it has to say
Matter of fact
(Ooh, as a matter of fact)
I need you
(Oh, as a matter of fact)
And I'm glad that you need me back
As a matter of fact
(Ooh, as a matter, a matter)
Mm, matter of fact, yeah

Rest Of The Night lyrics - Natalie Cole
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, yeah
Baby, what's your hurry
Where are you going so fast
You can keep your motor runnin'
But don't run out of gas
Getting there is half the fun
Cause you've got the rest of the night to hold me
And the best of my love's yet to come (yet to come)
For the rest of my life I'm gonna love you
So take a little longer, my love can only get stronger
(Stronger, stronger)
If we're gonna climb a mountain
We gotta take our sweet time
When you're traveling down love's highway
Don't you know speeding is a crime
Listen, getting there is half the fun
Cause you've got the rest of the night to hold me
And the best of my love's yet to come (yet to come)
For the rest of my life I'm gonna love you
So take a little longer
My love can only get stronger (stronger, stronger)
Oh, my Baby, we gotta slow down (ooh)
Take your time, ease your mind (oh, Baby, mmm)
Stronger, rest of my life, I'm gonna love you
So just take a little longer, and our love is gonna get stronger
(Cause you've got the rest of the night) oh---, yeah
(And the best of my love) yet to come (yet to come)
Oh, baby, for (rest of my life) I'm gonna love you
I want you to take your time
Love me baby, love me baby, love me, love me (rest of my life)
Slow down baby, I ain't going no where (best of my love)
So why don't we just take our sweet time (rest of my life)
Don't rush me, you're gonna crush me, let the feeling come
Oh, remember that song about a slow hand (rest of the night)
Now she had the right idea (oh--)
So, Baby, what's the hurry, (best of my love)
we've got forever
If we don't use it up too fast (oh, ah--)
Take it slow, calm down, smell the roses
We'll get there, don't you worry
(Rest of the night, to hold me) (best of my love, yet to come...)
Oh, yeah
Baby, what's your hurry
Where are you going so fast
You can keep your motor runnin'
But don't run out of gas
Getting there is half the fun
Cause you've got the rest of the night to hold me
And the best of my love's yet to come (yet to come)
For the rest of my life I'm gonna love you
So take a little longer, my love can only get stronger
