Movin’ Out (Anthony’s Song)
[BLAINE (with SAM)]
Huh-uh, aha, mhm
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"
[SAM (with BLAINE), {New Directions}]
Oh, but workin' too hard can give you
A heart attack, tack, tack, tack, tack
(You oughta know by now)
{You oughta know by now}
[BLAINE]
Who needs a house out in Hackensack?
Is that all you get for your money?
[SAM]
And it seems such a waste of time
If that's what it's all about
[BLAINE & SAM]
Mama, if that's movin' up then I'm movin' out
Ooh, I'm movin' out
[BLAINE]
Mhm, oh-oh, aha, oh-oh
Sergeant O'Leary is walkin' the beat
At night he becomes a bartender
[SAM (with BLAINE)]
(He works at Mister Cacciatore's down on Sullivan Street)
Across from the medical center
[BLAINE & SAM, (NEW DIRECTIONS)]
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]
And it seems such a waste of time
If that's what it's all about
[BLAINE & SAM]
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]
Good luck movin' up cause I'm movin' out
Ooh, I'm movin' out
[BLAINE]
Oh-mhm, Yeah, yeah
I'm movin' out!
