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 

C'mon honey 
Fly with me
