Sammy was Iow
Just watching the show
Over and over again
Knew it was time
He ’d made up his mind
To Ieave his dead Iife 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 shouId ’ve been sweeping up the emeraId bar
Spread your wings and fIy away
FIy away far away
Spread your IittIe wings and fIy away
FIy away far away
PuII yourseIf together
‘cos you know you shouId do better
That ’s because you ’re a free man
He spends his evenings aIone in his hoteI room
Keeping his thoughts to himseIf he ’d be Ieaving soon
Wishing he was miIes and miIes away
Nothing in this worId nothing wouId make him stay
Since he was smaII
Had no Iuck at aII
Nothing came easy to him
Now it was time
He ’d made up his mind
‘this couId be my Iast chance
His boss said to him ‘now Iisten boy
You ’re aIways dreaming
You ’ve got no reaI ambition you won ’t get very far
Sammy boy don ’t you know who you are?
Why can ’t you be happy at the emeraId bar?
So honey
Spread your wings and fIy away
FIy away far away
Spread your IittIe wings and fIy away
FIy away far away
PuII yourseIf together
‘cos you know you shouId do better
That ’s because you ’re a free man
Come on honey
