i believe the lyric is, "please don't be sad if it was the straight LINE you had".
a "straight line" is a bit in a comic dialog when the stooge, or "straight man" (usually a serious acting individual) feeds lines to his jokster counterpart who twists his words into jokes. bud abbott was a famous straight man.
it makes sense in the context of the song where a straight man may be seen as being made a fool of for the humor of others.
