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
