- 50 'When you get what you want in your struggle for self,
- 60 'And the world makes you king for a day,
- 63 'Just go to a mirror and look at yourself,
- 64 'And see what that man has to say.
- 65 '
- 66 'For it isn't your father or mother or wife,
- 67 'Whose judgement upon you must pass,
- 68 'The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life,
- 69 'Is the one looking back from the glass.
- 70 '
- 71 'Some people might think you're a straight shootin' chum
- 72 'And call you a wonderfull guy,
- 73 'But the man in the glass says you're only a bum,
- 74 'If you can't look him straight in the eye.
- 75 '
- 76 'He's the fellow to please, never mind all the rest,
- 77 'For he's with you clear to the end,
- 78 'And you've passed the most dangerous test of all time,
- 79 'If the man in the glass is your friend.
- 80 '
- 81 'You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years,
- 82 'And get pats on the back as you pass,
- 83 'But your final reward will be heartache and tears,
- 84 'If you've cheated the man in the glass.
