Moving Up Lyrics - The Vandals

Hey mom, it's been fantastic since I'm on my own - At first it seemed so drastic when you and dad kicked me out - but it made me get my act together - and learn what life's all about - now I'm self reliant I can hold my own - Movin' up, - lookout - I got me a job, at a food service place - I'm making four-fifty - and things are going great - I'm cleaning toilets, making fries - but in a couple years - Your least favorite son could make the manager - I don't need education, - forget about a college - I've got the motivation, - I've got the knowledge - I'll work my way slowly up the food service ladder - and prove to my new family here I really matter - Movin' up, - lookout, - here I come, - Movin' up - I hate to jinx my chances - if it's too soon to speak - but there has been some talk, - I could be worker of the week - They'll give me half price lunches - and my own parking space - if I ever get a car - that's icing on the cake - Movin' up, - Lookout, - here I come, - I'm doing great - I may share one room place - with seven other strangers - with bugs and drugs - and several other dangers - but I command the dinner shift, - and when depressed - I think the four F's - Friends, Fun, Fast-Food, Flexible hours - 'cause I got me a job - I got me a plan - you said I was a mess up - but I proved that I'm a man - I'm here surviving - and I did my own way - Mom and Dad - I wish that you could see me today - I'm Movin' up, - Lookout, - Here I come, - I got a raise, - Movin' up - Lookout, - Here I come, - I'm doing good
