Movin Out Lyrics - 12 Gardens Live - Billy Joel

Anthony works in the grocery store 

Saving his pennies for some day 

Mama Leone left a note on the door 

She said, ["Sonny, move out to the country."] 

Oh, but working too hard can give you a heart attack-ack-ack-ack-ack-ack 

You ought to know by now [(you ought to 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 moving up, then I'm movin' out 

I'm movin' out, mmm, ooh, uh huh

Sergeant O'Leary is walking the beat 

At night he becomes a bartender 

He works at Mr. Cacciatorre's down on Sullivan Street 

Across from the medical center 

Yeah and he's trading in his Chevy for a Cadillac-ac-ac-ac-ac-ac 

You ought to know by now [(you ought to 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 moving up, then I'm movin' out 

I'm movin' out, oh, ooh, uh huh 

You should never argue with a crazy man-man-man-man-man 

You ought to know by now [(you ought to 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 moving up, 'cause I'm movin' out 

I'm movin' out, mmm, ooh, uh huh 

I'm movin' out
