Sammy was low
Just watching the show
Over and over again
He knew it was time
He'd made up his mind
And 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?
Why can't you be happy at 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, yeah

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, could make him stay

Since he was small
He 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, 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, yeah
 [bad word] on honey
Fly, fly with me
Far away
Oooh, let me take you
Ooh yeah

Ooh
Oh [bad word] on
Spread your [bad word] on and fly, fly, fly with me
Yeah

Ooooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh
Yeah
M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m fly
Oh, yeah
Alright, [bad word] on honey, fly with me, yeah
Oh spread
Oooh, yeah
