Dm                   Gm                 
Anthony works in the grocery store
C                      F
savin' his pennies for someday
Dm                Gm
Mama Leone left a note on the door,
         C                       F
she said "Sonny, move out to the country"
Dm                              Gm          
workin' too hard can give you a heart attack
Bb                   C
you ought to know by now
Dm                       Gm
who needs a house out in Hackensack?
   C                           F
Is that what you get with your money?
   Bb                    C
It seems such a waste of time
C7 A                     Dm
if that's what it's all about
   Bb                    A7         Dm
if that's movin' up then I'm movin' out.

Seargent O'Leary is walkin' the beat
C                      F
at night he becomes abartender
Dm                   Gm      
he works at Mister Cacciatore's down
on Sulliven Street
C                      F
across from the medical center
Dm                   Gm      
he's tradin' in his Chevy for a Cadillac
Bb                   C
you ought to know by now
Dm                   Gm      
and if he can't drive with a broken back
   C                           F
at least he can polish the fenders.
  
 Bb                    C
It seems such a waste of time
C7 A                     Dm
if that's what it's all about
   Bb                    A7         Dm
if that's movin' up then I'm movin' out.

Dm                   Gm  
You should never argue with a crazy mind
Bb                   C
you ought to know by now
Dm                   Gm  
you can pay Uncle Sam with the overtime
   C                           F
is that all you get for your money?
   Bb                    C
It seems such a waste of time
C7 A                     Dm
if that's what it's all about
   Bb                    A7         Dm
if that's movin' up then I'm movin' out.
