Moving Up

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Hey mom, it's been fantastic since I'm on my own At first it seemed so drastic when you and dad kicked me out But it made me get my act together and learn what life's all about Now I'm self-reliant, I can hold my own [Chorus] I'm movin' up Look out [Verse 2] I got me a job at the food service place I'm making $4.50 and things are going great I'm cleaning toilets, making fries, but in a couple years Your least favorite son could make the manager I don't need education, forget about college I've got the motivation, I've got the knowledge I'll work my way slowly up the food service ladder And prove to my new family here I really matter [Chorus] I'm movin' up Look out Here I come I'm movin' up [Verse 3] I hate to jinx my chances if it's too soon to speak But there has been some talk I could be worker of the week They'll give me half-price lunches and my own parking space If I ever get a car, that's icing on the cake [Chorus] I'm movin' up Look out Here I come I'm doing great [Verse 4] I may share a one-room place with seven other strangers With bugs and drugs and several other dangers But I command the dinner shift, and when depressed, I think the four F's Friends, Fun, Fast-Food, Flexible hours 'Cause I got me a job, I got me a plan You said I was a mess up, but I proved that I'm a man I'm here surviving and I did it my own way Mom and Dad, I wish that you could see me today [Outro] I'm Movin' up Look out Here I come I got a raise I'm movin' up Look out Here I come I'm doing good
