Movin’ Out (Anthony’s Song) Songtext
von Billy Joel

Woo-hoo
Uh-huh
Mmm, mmm, mmm

Anthony works in the grocery store
Saving his pennies for someday
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

You oughta know by now
(You oughta 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 movin' up then I'm movin′ out!
Mmm I′m movin' out
Mmm, mmm
Woo-hoo
Uh-huh

Sergeant O′Leary is walking the beat
At night, he becomes a bartender
He works at Mister Cacciatore's down on Sullivan Street
Across from the medical center
Yeah, he′s trading in his Chevy for a Cadillac-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

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-huh
Woo-hoo
Uh-huh


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

And if that′s what you have in mind
Yeah, that's what you′re all about
Good luck movin' up, 'cause I′m movin′ out!
Mmm I'm movin′ out
Mmm, mmm
Woo-hoo
Uh-huh
Mmm, mmm

I'm movin′ out!
