Sometime when you’re feeling important;Sometime when your ego’s in bloomSometime when you take it for grantedYou’re the best qualified in the room,
Sometime when you feel that your goingWould leave an unfillable hole,Just follow these simple instructionsAnd see how they humble your soul;
Take a bucket and fill it with water,Put your hand in it up to the wrist,Pull it out and the hole that’s remainingIs a measure of how you’ll be missed.
You can splash all you wish when you enter,You may stir up the water galore,But stop and you’ll find that in no timeIt looks quite the same as before.
The moral of this quaint exampleIs do just the best that you can,Be proud of yourself but remember,There’s no indispensable man.
