Anthony works in the grocery store
Savin' his pennies for someday
Mama Leone left a note on the door,
She said, "Sonny, move out to the country."
Workin' too hard can give you
A heart attack-ack-ack-ack-ack
You oughta know by now (You oughta know by now)
Who needs a house out in Hackensack?
Is that what you get for your money?
It seems such a waste of time
If that's what it's all about
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
He's tradin' in his Chevy for a Cadillac
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
It seems such a waste of time
If that's what it's all about
If that's movin' up then I'm movin' out.
You should never argue with a crazy mi-mi-mi-mi-mind
You oughta know by now
You can pay Uncle Sam with overtime
Is that all you get for your money?
If that's what you have in mind
If that's what you're all about
Good luck movin' up cos I'm movin' out.
