song lyrics
Nobody Knows You When You re Down And Out lyrics
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
