Anthony works in the grocery store
Savin' his pennies for someday

A heart attack, tack, tack, tack, tack

Who needs a house out in Hackensack?

Yeah, he's tradin' in his Chevy for a Cadillac, ac, ac, ac, ac
You oughta know by now (You oughta know by now)

[BLAINE]
And if he can't drive
With a broken back
At least he can polish the fenders

[SAM]

If that's what it's all about

Mama, if that's movin' up then I'm movin' out
Ooh, I'm movin' out

[BLAINE]
Oh-oh, Yeah! I'm movin' out

[BLAINE & SAM, (NEW DIRECTIONS)]
You should never argue with a crazy mi, mi, mi, mind
You oughta know by now (You oughta know by now)

[BLAINE]
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

[SAM]
Yeah, if that's what you're all about

[BLAINE & SAM]
Good luck movin' up cause I'm...

[SAM]
Yeah, if that's what you have in mind

[BLAINE]
Yeah, if that's what you're all about

[BLAINE & SAM]

Ooh, I'm movin' out

[BLAINE]
Oh-mhm, Yeah, yeah
I'm movin' out!
