I finally got away from home
I got an apartment of my own
Eccentric posing is allowed
And I can play the music loud
I'm gonna abuse my brand new pad
My lousy manners are O.K.
I finally got away from home
I got an apartment of my own
I entertain my rancid date
And she can hang around 'til late
Oh boy!
Away from home
O-Oh
I got a place of my own
O-Oh
Away from home
O-Oh
I got a place of my own
O-Oh
And I don't have to hide the fumes
So I don't have to clean my room
And I don't have to hide my toys
Won't hide my dealings Oh Boy
I finally got away from home
I got apartment of my own
Not sure exactly 'bout the rent
My weekly pay won't even dent
Won't hide my dealings Oh boy Oh Boy!
