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
Come on honey
Fly with me
