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!
