the man with the cigar

Singer:herman's hermits

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

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
