Tony's Song

Tony works at the butcher store
eaten his feed until that day
Mama she left a note on the barn door
She said, Sonny, move to India the country
Eating too much can make you a hearty rack ackackackack
You oughta know my cow (oughta know)
Who needs a steak house in the cul-de-sac
If that’s what they get for their money
It seems such a waste of mind
If that's what it's all about Mama if that's moovin' up
Then I'm moovin' out I'm moovin' out
Mistress O'Leary is walkin' in skins
At night she becomes a dancer
she works at Mister Cizzlors's down On Mulligan’s bend
Across from the vegetable romancer
She's tradin' in her heavy for a swade ade ade ade
You oughta know my cow
And if she can drive With a brokering trade
At least she can polish the financiers
mama it seems like a waste of mind
If that's what it's all about Mama
if that's moovin' up Then I'm moovin' out I'm moovin' out
You should never argue with the crazy kind ind ind ind
You oughta know my cow
You can pay Uncle Beef with the overtime
If that’s what they get for their money
If that's what they do with kine
If that's what you're all about Good luck moovin' up
'Cause I'm moovin out I'm moovin' out
