The man with the cigar walked on up to where I was workin' this mornin' The man with the cigar said that I was workin' too slow & if I didn't speed it up, he'd have to let me go
I'm workin' like a dog, so why's he always hangin' around me to hound me? He's pushing me too far, & pretty soon my back is gonna break I've taken all that I can take from the man with the cigar
(x2): I need this job & I need it bad I need him love& I need it to don't be so sad That's why I gotta keep myself from gettin' mad The man with the cigar, I hope he doesn't push me too far I hope he push me close to himself Yeah the man with the cigar Yeah the man with the cigar Yeah the man with the cigar
