Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spent all my money, I didn't care
Took all my friends out, for just a good time
Bought bootleg liquor, Champagne and wine
Then I began to fall so low
Lost all my good friends, Had nowhere to go
If I get my hands on a dollar again
I'll hang on until, that old eagle grins
Nobody knows you
When you're down and out
In your pocket, not one penny
And as for friends, you don't have any
Nobody knows you
When you're down and out
In your pocket, not one penny
And as for friends, you don't have any
When you get back on feet again
Everybody wants to be your long-lost friend
I said it's strange, without any doubt
Nobody Knows you, Nobody Knows you, Nobody Knows you
When you're down and out
