You sit in the front.
You friends are around the table,
Speaking of the hard work they've done.
One is a lawyer;
The other a banker.

You sit in the front,
And tell them what you've done,
What you have accomplished,
How proud your parents are
For you to be just like them.

And your friend from the back comes in,
The one who just can't seem to make it anywhere,
No matter how hard he tries,
And takes the dishes,
And returns to working in the back.
