Anthony works in the grocery store
Saving his pennies for someday.
Momma Leoni left a note on the door.
She said, "Sonny, move out to the country."
Aw, but working too hard can give you a heart attack, ack, ack, ack, ack, ack;
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...
Momma, if that's moving up, then I'm moving out.

Mmm I'm movin out
Mm hmmm, Oo Hoo...

Seargeant O'Leary is walking the beat.
At night he becomes a bartender.
He works at Mr. Cacciatorre's down on Sullivant Street,
Across from the medical center,
And he's trading in his Chevy for a Cadillac, lac, lac, lac, lac, lac;
You oughta know by now,
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...
Momma, if that's moving up, then I'm moving out.

Oo I'm movin out, Oh, oh, Oo, hoo...

You should never argue with a crazy, ma, ma, ma, ma, man;
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 moving out.

Oo I'm movin out
Mmhmm Oo hoo uh-huh mmhmm...
I'm movin' out!
