The Man In the Glass By Dale Wimbrow 1934

Man In The Glass
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 judgment upon you must pass...

The fellows verdict that counts most in your life is the one starring back from the glass.

Some people might say your a straight shootin chum and call you a wonderful guy but the man in the mirror says your 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 dangerous test if the man in the glass is your friend.

You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years and get pats on your back as you pass but your final reward will be heart ache and tears if you've cheated the man in the glass....

Ahh, the hours I spent sitting at the bar staring into the mirror at that lonely gal with a glass in her hand! Funny how I started to look better and sexier as the night wore on! (cringe)
