Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)

Ooh ooh
Uh huh
Mmm

Anthony works in the grocery store
Savin' his pennies for someday
Mama Leone left a note on the door
She said, "Sonny, move out to the country"

Ah, but workin' too hard can give you
A heart attack-ack-ack-ack-ack-ack
You oughta know by now (you oughta know by now)

Who needs a house out in Hackensack
Is that all you get with your money

And it seems such a waste of time
If that's what it's all about
Mama, if that's movin' up, then I'm
Movin' out

Mmm, I'm movin' out
Mmm, mmm

Ooh ooh
Uh huh
Mmm

Sergeant O'Leary is walkin' the beat
At night he becomes a bartender
He works at Mister Cacciatore's down on Sullivan Street
Across from the medical center

He's tradin' in his Checy for
A Cadillac-ac-ac-ac-ac-ac
You oughta know by now (you oughta know by now)

And if he can't drive with a broken back
At least he can polish the fenders

And it seems such a waste of time
If that's what it's all about
Mama, if that's movin' up then I'm
Movin' out

Mmm, I'm movin' out
Oh oh

Ooh ooh
Uh huh
Mmm

You should never argue with a
Crazy mind-mind-mind-mind-mind
You oughta know by now (you oughta know by now)

You can pay Uncle Sam with the overtime
Is that all you get for your money

And if that's what you had in mind
Yeah if that's what you're all about
Good luck movin' up 'cause I'm
Movin' out

Mmm, I'm movin' out
Mmm

Ooh ooh
Uh huh
Mmm

I'm movin' out
