The Vandals

The Vandals - Moving Up lyrics

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

Movin' up,

lookout

I got me a job, at a food service place

I'm making four-fifty

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 a 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

Movin' up,

lookout,

here I come,

Movin' up

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

Movin' up,

Lookout,

here I come,

I'm doing great

I may share 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

cuz 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 my own way

Mom and Dad

I wish that you could see me today

I'm Movin' up,

Lookout,

Here I come,

I got a raise,

Movin' up

Lookout,

Here I come,

I'm doing good
