Moving Up - The Vandals

Hey mom, it’s been fantastic since I’m on my own

At first it seemed so drastic when you and dad threw 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 no 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

I got me a job and 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
