Moving on Up

I'm moving on up

Trying to find me a way

Got an old piece of jive, baby

But I'm being underpaid

I got to move along

And I can't hold on

I'm moving on up

Got me no patrol

Got a eleven hundred dollar car, don't you know?

No money in my pocket, baby

Where in the world, oh, can I go?

I got to move along

And I can't hold on

I'm moving on up

All my life been a worry

I got no place to go

Things ain't right, my darling

I'm tired of carrying this heavy load

I got to move along

And I can't hold on

I'm moving on up

Goodbye, baby

Baby, so long

Tried so hard, baby

Think I better move on

I got to move along

And I can't hold on

I'm moving on up

Things don't feel right, baby

I'm tired of working so long

No money in my pocket, baby

I'm tired of carrying this heavy load

I got to groove along

And I can't hold on

I'm moving on up
