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"
Oh, but 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?

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

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 medical center
He´s tradin´ in is Chevy for a Cadillac
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

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
Yeah, that´s what your all about
Good luck movin´ up, cause I´m movin´ out

I´m movin´ out...
