Dm Gm 
Anthony works in the grocery store 
C F 
savin' his pennies for someday 
Dm Gm 
Mama Leone left a note on the door, 
C F 
she said "Sonny, move out to the country" 
Dm Gm 
workin' too hard can give you a heart attack 
Bb C 
you ought to know by now 
Dm Gm 
who needs a house out in Hackensack? 
C F 
Is that what you get with your money? 
Bb C 
It seems such a waste of time 
C7 A Dm 
if that's what it's all about 
Bb A7 Dm 
if that's movin' up then I'm movin' out. 
  
Seargent O'Leary is walkin' the beat 
at night he becomes abartender 
he works at Mister Cacciatore's down 
on Sulliven Street 
across from the medical center 
he's tradin' in his Chevy for a Cadillac 
you ought to know by now 
and if he can't drive with a broken back 
at least he can polish the fenders. 
It seems such awaste 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 mind 
you ought to know by now 
you can pay Uncle Sam with the overtime 
is that all you get for your money? 
It seems such awaste of time 
if that's what it's all about 
if that's movin' up then I'm movin' out.
