Sammy was low

Just watching the show
Over and over again

Knew it was time
Hed made up his mind
To leave his dead life behind

His boss said to him
Boy youd better begin
To get those crazy notions right out of your head
Sammy who do you think that you are
You shouldve 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
Thats because youre a free man

He spends his evenings alone in his hotel room

Keeping his thoughts to himself hed 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
Hed made up his mind
This could be my last chance

His boss said to him now listen boy
Youre always dreaming
Youve got no real ambition you wont get very far
Sammy boy dont you know who you are
Why cant 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
Thats because youre a free man
