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 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 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
