Sammy was low, just watching the show over and over again
Knew it was time, made up this mind to leave his dead life behind
His pops said to him, "Boy you better begin to get those crazy notions right out of your head"
Sammy, who do you think that you are?
You should be sweeping up in Emerald Brown
Spread your wings and fly away, fly away, far away
Spread your little wings and fly away, fly away, far away
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 in this world, nothing
Wouldn't make him stay
Da, da-da, da-da
Da, da-da, da-da
Da, da-da, da-da
Da, da-da, da-da
Da, da-da, da-da
Da, da-da, da-da
Da
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 dance
His pops said to him, "You're always dreaming, you've got no ambition and you won't get very far"
Sammy boy, don't you know who you are?
Why can't you be happy at the Emerald Vine
So honey spread your wings and fly away, fly away, far away
Spread your little wings and fly away, fly away, far away
Pull yourself together 'cause you know you should do better
That's because you're a free man
