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

Mm I' movin out, mm oo oo uh huh mm hm



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 ack ack ack ack ack

You ought-a know by now

If he can't drive with a broken back

At least he can polish the fenders

(Repeat chorus)



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

Then that's what you're all about

Good luck movin up cause I'm movin out

Mm I'm movin out Mm oo oo uh huh mm hm
