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 
That's why 
I gotta keep myself from gettin' mad 
The man with the cigar, 
I hope he doesn't push me too far 
Yeah the man with the cigar 
Yeah the man with the cigar 
Yeah the man with the cigar
