You Are One Of Those People

 On the ladder of success you may have climbed far

And your many admirters say of how marvellous you are

Any humility if you ever did have it in you is long dead

The praises of the local impressionable has gone to your head

There are many once were winners who have become losers in every town

From the very top they quickly plummeted down

At least they have learned one lesson from life of them one can say

That they surely do know who their friends are today

All of the town's wealthy class parties you are invited to attend

And everybody it does seem want to become your friend

But you only know who your friends are if you become financially broke

How many of you then will say what a good bloke

You are one of those people that many admire

And of singing your praises none does seem to tire

But you will only know who your friends are

If you cannot afford the price of a second hand car.
