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 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 free man
