When you get what you want in your struggle for self
And the world makes you king for a day,
Just go to the mirror and look at yourself
And see what THAT man has to say.
For it isn't your father mother or wife
Whose judgement upon you must pass
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the one staring back from the glass.
Some people may think you a straight shooting chum
And call you a wonderful guy,
But the man in the glass says you're only a bum
If you can't look him straight in the eye.
He's the fellow to please, never mind all the rest,
For he's with you clear upto the end
And you've passed your most dangerous difficult test
If the man in the glass is your friend.
You may fool the whole world down in the pathway of life
And get pats on your back as you pass,
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
If you've cheated the man in the glass.
And the world makes you king for a day,
Just go to the mirror and look at yourself
And see what THAT man has to say.
For it isn't your father mother or wife
Whose judgement upon you must pass
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the one staring back from the glass.
Some people may think you a straight shooting chum
And call you a wonderful guy,
But the man in the glass says you're only a bum
If you can't look him straight in the eye.
He's the fellow to please, never mind all the rest,
For he's with you clear upto the end
And you've passed your most dangerous difficult test
If the man in the glass is your friend.
You may fool the whole world down in the pathway of life
And get pats on your back as you pass,
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
If you've cheated the man in the glass.
