Nobody Knows When You’re Down And Out

[Verse 1]
Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spending my money, and I didn't care
Takin' my friends out, having a good time
Buying bootleg liquor, champagne, and wine

[Verse 2]
Ah, but when my money began to fall so low
I didn't have a friend, and I couldn't go
If I ever get my hands, on a dollar again
I'm gonna squeeze it, and squeeze it, until that eagle grins

[Chorus]
'Cause nobody knows you, when you're down and out
And your pocket, not one penny
And friends, you haven't any
But as soon as you get on your feet
Many friends you chance to meet
It's strange to say, without a doubt
Nobody knows you, when you're down and out
They don't know you when you're down and out, oh

[Chorus]
Nobody knows you, when you're down and out
And your pocket, not one penny
And friends, you haven't any
If I ever get my hands, on a dollar again
And happen to run across, few of my fair weather friends
I've learned my lesson, yes I found out
That nobody knows you, no no no, nobody needs you
Lord, lord, no, nobody knows you, when you're down and out
