Movin' Out (Anthony's Song) by Billy Joel is featured in Movin' Out, the sixth episode of Season Five. It is sung by Blaine and Sam with the New Directions. 

Blaine and Sam reveal their departure to New York, Blaine for his NYADA audition and to receive tips from Kurt and Rachel and Sam for a scholarship. Since they're missing out the Billy Joel week in Glee Club, they decide to cover a song before they go. Blaine starts playing the piano as they both sing in The Choir Room with the Glee Club surrounding the piano. The New Directions back-up for them before they escape the The Choir Room and "move out" as they pick up their bags, walking through the hallways of McKinley. As they run around the corner, it shows the two of them making it to New York, running up the stairs from the subway and taking a bus to the Bushwick Apartment. At the end of the song, they greet Rachel, Kurt and Santana.  

Lyrics[]

Blaine (with Sam):
Huh-uh, aha, mhm
Anthony works in the grocery store
Savin' his pennies for someday
(Mama Leone left a note on the door),
She said, "Sonny, move out to the country"

Sam (with Blaine):
Oh, but workin' too hard can give you
A heart (attack, tack, tack, tack, tack)
(You oughta know by now)
(New Directions Guys: You oughta know by now)

Blaine:
Who needs a house out in Hackensack?
Is that all you get for your money?

Sam:
And it seems such a waste of time
If that's what it's all about
Mama, if that's movin' up then I'm

Sam (with Blaine):
(Movin' out)
Ooh, I'm (movin' out)

Blaine:
Mhm, oh-oh, aha, oh-oh
Sergeant O'Leary is walkin' the beat
At night he becomes a bartender

Sam (with Blaine):
(He works at Mister Cacciatore's down on Sullivan Street)
Across from the medical center

Blaine and Sam:
Yeah, he's tradin' in his Chevy for a Cadillac, ac, ac, ac, ac
You oughta know by now (New Directions Guys: You oughta know by now)

Blaine:
And if he can't drive
With a broken back
At least he can polish the fenders

Sam:
And it seems such a waste of time
If that's what it's all about
Mama, if that's movin' up then I'm

Sam (with Blaine):
(Movin' out)
Ooh, I'm (movin' out)

Blaine:
Oh-oh, Yeah! I'm movin' out

Blaine (with Sam):
You should never argue with a crazy (mind, mind, mind, mind)
(You oughta know by now) (New Directions: You oughta know by now)

Blaine:
You can pay Uncle Sam with the overtime
Is that all you get for your money?

And if that's what you have in mind

Sam:
Yeah, if that's what you're all about

Blaine and Sam:
Good luck movin' up cause I'm...

Sam:
Yeah, if that's what you have in mind

Blaine:
Yeah, if that's what you're all about

Blaine and Sam:
Good luck movin' up cause I'm movin' out

Blain (with Sam):
Ooh, I'm (movin' out)

Blaine:
Oh-mhm, Yeah, yeah
I'm movin' out!
