Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out

Once I 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 to go

If I ever get my hands on a dollar again

I'm gonna squeeze it and squeeze it till that eagle grins

Nobody knows you when you're down and out

In your pocket not one penny

And your friends, well, you haven't any

Just as soon as you're on your feet again

Why, everybody is your long lost friend

It's mighty strange, without a doubt

But nobody wants you when you're down and out

Well, everyone becomes your long lost friend

I tell you, it's mighty strange without a doubt

But no remembers

And nobody wants you

No, nobody wants you when you're down and out
