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
