Sammy was low



Just watching the show



Over and over again



Knew it was time



He'd made up his mind



To leave his dead life behind



His boss said to him



"Boy you'd better begin



To get those crazy notions right out of your head



Sammy who do you think that you are?



You should've been sweeping up the Emerald Bar"







Spread your wings and fly away



Fly away, far away



Spread your little wings and fly away



Fly away, far away



Pull yourself together



'Cos you know you should do better



That's because you're a free man







He spends his evenings alone in his hotel room



Keeping his thoughts to himself, he'd be leaving soon



Wishing he was miles and miles away



Nothing in this world, nothing would make him stay







Since he was small



Had no luck at all



Nothing came easy to him



Now it was time



He'd made up his mind



"This could be my last chance"



His boss said to him, "Now listen boy!



You're always dreaming



You've got no real ambition, you won't get very far



Sammy boy, don't you know who you are?



Why can't you be happy at the Emerald Bar?"







So honey







Spread your wings and fly away



Fly away, far away



Spread your little wings and fly away



Fly away, far away



Pull yourself together



'Cos you know you should do better



That's because you're a free man
