The Vandals’s 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
