Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)
Ooh, oh
Mm
Anthony works in the grocery store
Savin' his pennies for someday
Mama Leon 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
You ought a know by now (you ought a 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
Ooh, I'm movin' out
Mm
Ooh, uh-huh
Mm
Sergeant O'Leary is walkin' the beat
At night he becomes a bartender
He works at Mr. Cacciatore's down on Sullivan Street
Across from the medical center
Yeah, and he's tradin' in his Chevy for a Cadillac
You ought a know by now (you ought a 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
Ooh, I'm movin' out
Oh
Ooh, uh-huh
Mm
You should never argue with a crazy mi-mi-mi-mind
You ought a know by now (you ought a 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
Ooh, I'm movin' out
Mm
Ooh, huh-huh
Mm
I'm movin' out
