Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out |
| I once lived the life of a millionaire |
| Spending my money I didn’t care |
| Always taking my friends out for a good time |
| Buying champagne, gin and wine |
| But just as soon as my dough got low |
| I couldn’t find a friend, no place I go If I ever get my hands on a dollar again |
| I’m gonna squeeze it, and squeeze it Till the eagle grins |
| Nobody knows you when you’re down and out |
| In your pocket, not one penny |
| And your friends, you haven’t any |
| And as soon as you get on your feet again |
| Everybody is your long lost friend |
| It’s mighty strange, without a doubt, but |
| Nobody wants you when you’re down and out |
| You know folks, I once had a mansion |
| Way up on the side of a hill |
| I’d give champagne and caviar parties |
| Just for fun and get a thrill |
| But you know things they just can’t stay like that forever |
| And now I can’t muscle up enough money |
| To buy a shot of gin |
| But you know, if I ever get my hands on a dollar again |
| I’m gonna squeeze it, and squeeze it till the eagle grins |
| It’s mighty strange, without a doubt |
| Nobody wants you |
| Nobody needs you |
| Nobody wants you when you’re down and out |
