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 me a heart attack
You oughta know by now
Who needs a house out in Hackensack
Is that what you get with 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 walking the beat
At night he [bad word] a bartender
He works at Mister Cacciatore's
Down On Sullivan Street
Across fromhe medical center
He's tradin' in his Checy for a Cadillac
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 mind
You oughta know by now
You can pay Uncle Sam with overtime
Is that all 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.
