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 what you get with your money?
And it seems such a waste of time
If that's what it's all about
If that's movin' up then 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
He's tradin' in his Chevy for a Cadillac
You oughta know by now
If he can't drive with a broken back
At least he can polish the fenders
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
You should never argue with a crazy mind
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
Then that's what you're all about
Good luck movin' up 'cause I'm movin' out
