Anthony works in the grocery store
Saving 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 yeah!

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
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
I'm movin' out yeah!

You should never argue with a crazy 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 have in mind
Yeah, if that's what you're all about
Good luck movin' up 'cause I'm movin' out
I'm movin' out yeah!

Yeah, I'm movin' out!
