Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 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 you a heart  attack
 you  ought to know by now
 who  needs a house out in Hackensack?
 Is  that what you get with your money?
 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.
 Seargent O'Leary is walkin' the beat
 at night he becomes abartender
 he works at Mister Cacciatore's down
 on Sulliven Street
 across from the medical center
 he's tradin' in his Chevy for a Cadillac
 you ought to know by now
 and if he can't drive with a broken back
 at least he can polish the fenders.
 It seems such awaste of time
 if that's what it's all about
 if that's movin' up then I'm movin' out.
 You should never argue with a crazy mind
 you ought to know by now
 you can pay Uncle Sam with the overtime
 is that all you get for your money?
 It seems such awaste of time
 if that's what it's all about
 if that's movin' up then I'm movin' out.

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

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