Ooh hoo Uh huh hmm mm
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
Ah but working too hard can give you a heart attack
ack ack ack ack ack
You ought-a 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 movin' out mmm hmm ooh hoo
Oh no mmm mm
Sergeant O'Leary is walkin' the beat At night he becomes a bartender
He works at Mister Cacciatores Down on Sullivan Street
Across from the medical center
And he's tradin' in his Chevy for a Cadillac
ac ac ac ac ac ac
You ought-a 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 movin' out mmm hmm ooh hoo
Oh no mmm mm
You should never argue with a crazy mi mi mi mi mi mind
You ought-a 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 If.. that's what you're all about
Good luck movin' up cause I'm.... movin' out I'm.... movin' out
Mmm hmm ooh hoo Uh huh mmm hmm I'm... movin' out
