Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)

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"

Workin' too hard can give you a heart attack

You oughta know by now

Who needs a house out in Hackensack?

Is that all you get for 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

I'm movin' out

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

And he's tradin' in his Chevy for a Cadillac

Oh, you oughta know by now

And if he can't drive with a broken back

At least he can polish the fenders

Oh, 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

I'm movin' out

You should never argue with a crazy mi-i-ind

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 have in mind

If that's what you're all about

Good luck movin', ohhh

Yeah, 'cause I'm movin' out

I'm movin' out

I'm movin' out
