But right is modifying next in Jackie's story and not in as in your song lyrics. Different adverb, but you knew that, right? Sorry, themilum, better luck next time.

Walk right in, set right down.
Obviously, right is a noun here. Walk can be either a transitive or intransitive verb, but set is only transitive. Therefore the directive is to set the right down. So it must be that the first part of the line is directing the listener to walk the right into the (building, room, area).

Jackie, I think you should immediately take vitamin C, two aspirins, a sick day and a hot rum toddy just in case. And grab a couple of guilty pleasure movies to make sure the cure is successful. Zed

The lyrics I remember:
Walk right in, set right down, Baby, let your hair hang down.
Probably a different group's recording, or is it a second verse?

But, Faldage--set is a well-known southeron mispronunciation of the word sit. I think. Or it might be a shortening of the term "set yourself" which would make it fitin to your set of rules better.

FTR: I have escaped getting sick, this time. Whew. I hate it when sick people breathe on me! And she did, still green around the gills--leaned in good and close, since she didn't want to be overheard. Now here are some meaningful lyrics... WALK RIGHT IN Rooftop Singers
Walk right in, set right down Daddy let your mind roll on Walk right in, set right down Daddy let your mind roll on Ev'rybody's talkin' 'bout a new way o' walkin' Do you wanna lose your mind? Walk right in, set right down Daddy let your mind roll on
Walk right in, set right down Baby let your hair hang down Walk right in, set right down Baby let your hair hang down Ev'rybody's talkin' bout' a new way o' walkin' Do you wanna lose your mind Walk right in, set right down Baby let your hair hang down
Walk right in, set right down Daddy let your mind roll on Walk right in, set right down Daddy let your mind roll on Ev'rybody's talkin' 'bout a new way o' walkin' Do you wanna lose your mind? Walk right in, set right down Daddy let your mind roll on Daddy let your mind roll on

All RIGHT, Jackie! Glad you didn't get the bug, whatever it was...And thanks for finding those lyrics. I was wondering if I had lost my mind, want to or not.

Better watch it--it might be too little to be wandering around by itself!
