Intro
Sammy was low - Just watching the show
Over and over a- gain
Knew it was time - He'd made up his mind
To leave his dead life be- hind
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"
Chorus
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
+5 thema*
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 awa- y
Nothing in this world, nothing would make him sta- y
Solo
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 am- bition, 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
Chorus
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
+5 thema*
That's because you're a free man
