Movin' Out [Anthony's Song] lyrics

Anthony works in the grocery store

Savin' his pennies for some day.

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?

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.

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.

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, if that's what you're all about,

Good luck, moving up, 'cause I'm

Movin' out!

I'm movin' out...
