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
