Sammy was lonely,
just watching the show
Over and over again
He knew it was time, he 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
Tell me who do you think that you are
You should have 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
Since he was small, he had no luck at all
Nothing came easy to him
And now it was time, he made up his mind
This could be my last chance
His boss said to him,
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, fly away
Spread your little wings and fly away,
fly away, fly away
You pull yourself together
cause 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, nothing in this world
Could make him stay
You said me,
who do you think that you are?
You should have been sleeping up
at the Emu bar
So come on,
spread your wings and fly away
Fly away, far, far away
Spread your little wings and fly away
Fly away, fly away,
pull yourself together
Cause you know you should do better
That's because you're a free man
A free man
You
