When you get what you want in y our struggle for life
And the world make you king for a day.
Just go to a mirror and look at yourself
And see what THAT man has to say.
For it isn't your father, mother or wife
Whose judgment 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-shootin' 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 up to the end.
And you've passed your most dangerous, difficult test
If the man in the glass is your friend.
