Billy Joel - Movin' Out (Anthony's Song) lyrics

rate me

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 attackackackackackack

You oughta know by now

Who needs a house out in Hackensack?

Is that all you get for your money?

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, I'm movin' out. Ooh-hoo, uh-huh, mmmm

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

Yeah and he's tradin' in his Chevy for a Cadillacacacacacacacac

You oughta 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, I'm movin' out. Ooh-hoo, uh-huh, mmmm

You should never argue with a crazy mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mind

You oughta 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

yeah if that's what you're all about

Good luck movin' up 'cause I'm movin' out.

Mmm, I'm movin' out. Ooh-hoo, uh-huh, mmmm

I'm movin' out...
