THE MAN IN THE GLASS 
When you qet what you want in your struqqle 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 or mother or wife
Whose  judment upon you must pass, 
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life 
Is the one starinq hack from the qlass.
Some people might think you're 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 to the end 
And you've passed your most danqerous test 
If the quy in the glass is your friend. 
You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years 
And qet pats on the back as you pass 
But your final reward will he heartache and tears 
If you've cheated the man in the glass.
