Anthony works in the grocery store

Savin' his pennies for someday

Mama Leone left a note on the door,

She said,

"Sonny, move out to the country."

Workin' too hard can give me

A heart attack

You oughta know by now

Who needs a house out in Hackensack?

Is that what you get with your money?



CHORUS

It seems such a waste of time

If that's what it's all about

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 Mister Cacciatore's down

On Sullivan Street

Across fromhe medical center

He's tradin' in his Checy for a Cadillac

You oughta know by now

And if he can't drive

With a broken back

At least he can polish the fenders



CHORUS



You should never argue with a crazy mind

You oughta know by now

You can pay Uncle Sam with overtime

Is that all you get for your money?



CHORUS
