When you get what you want in your struggle for self
And the world makes you king for a day
Just go to a mirror and look at yourself
And see what THAT man has to say
For it isnt your father or mother or wife
Who judgement upon you must pass;
The fellow whose verdict counts the most in your life
Is the one staring back from the glass
Some people may think you're a straight-shootin' chum
And call you a wonderfull guy
But the man in the glass says you're only a bum
If you cant look him straight in the eye
He's the fellow to please, never mind all the rest
For he's with you right up to 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 the pathway of life
And get pats on the back as you pass
But your final reward will be heartaches and tears
If you've cheated the man in the glass.
