[Verse]
Seargeant O'Leary is walking the beat
At night he becomes a bar tender
He works at Mister Cacciatore's down on Sullivan Street
Across from the Medical Center
And he's trading in his Chevy for a Cadillac-ac-ac-ac-ac-ac!
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 like a waste of time, if that's what it's all about
Yea, if that's movin' up then I'm movin' out
[Instrumental] (x2)
Bm Em A D
[Verse]
You should never argue with a crazy mind-mind-mind-mind-mind-mind!
You ought to know by now
You can pay Uncle Sam with the overtime
Is that all you get for your money?
And it seems such a waste of time, if that's what it's all about
Good luck movin' up cuz I'm movin' out
