Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)

Billy Joel

4

Woo-hoo

Uh-huh

Mmm, mmm, mmm

Anthony works in the grocery store

Saving his pennies for someday

Mama Leone left a note on the door

She said, "Sonny, move out to the country"

Oh, but working too hard can give you

A heart attack-ack-ack-ack

You oughta know by now

(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!

Mmm I′m movin' out

Mmm, mmm

Woo-hoo

Uh-huh

Sergeant O′Leary is walking the beat

At night, he becomes a bartender

He works at Mister Cacciatore's down on Sullivan Street

Across from the medical center

Yeah, he′s trading in his Chevy for a Cadillac-ac-ac-ac

You oughta know by now

(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!

Mmm I′m movin' out

Oh-huh

Woo-hoo

Uh-huh

You should never argue with a crazy mi-mi-mi-mind

You oughta know by now

(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 you′re all about

Good luck movin' up, 'cause I′m movin′ out!

Mmm I'm movin′ out

Mmm, mmm

Woo-hoo

Uh-huh

Mmm, mmm

I'm movin′ out!
