Dm                   Gm7
Anthony works in the grocery store
C           C              Fmaj7
Saving his pennies for someday
Dm                Gm7
Mama Leone left a note on the door
            C            C         Fmaj7
She said, "Sonny, move out to the country"

Dm                               G7
Working too hard can give you a heart
attack-ack-ack-ack-ack-ack
A#                    C
You ought to know by now
Dm                        G7
Who needs a house out in Hackensack?
   C7sus4        C7           F
Is that all you get for your money?

Chorus:
    A#            A#      C   C7  
It seems like a waste of time,
     A               A   Dm
if that's what it's all about
 Dm       A#            A#     Em7 A        Dm
Mama, if that's movin' up then I'm  movin' out

Sergeant O'Leary is walkin' the beat
At night he becomes a bartender
He works at Mr. Cacciatore's
Down on Sullivan Street
Across from the medical center
Yeah, and he's tradin' in his Chevy
For a Cadillac-ac-ac-ac-ac-ac

You oughta know by now
(You oughta know by now)
And if he can't drive with a broken back
At least he can polish the fenders

Chorus:
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
Oh-ohh, ooh ooh, uh-huh, mmm

You should never argue
With a crazy mind-mind-mind-mind

You oughta know by now
(You oughta know by now)
You can pay Uncle Sam with the overtime
Is that all you get for your money?

Chorus:
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
I'm movin' out

I'm movin' out
