Lyrics

[Verse 1] You know, once I lived the life of a millionaire Spendin' all my money, huh, I didn't care Always takin' my friends out to have a good time Buyin', you know, bootleg liquor, champagne and wine But just as soon as my dough got low I couldn't find a friend, I had no place to go But now if I ever get my hands on a dollar again I'm gonna squeeze it and squeeze it 'til the eagle grins [Verse 2] 'Cause man, you know, nobody knows you When you're down and out In your pocket, not one penny And your friends, you haven't any Now just as soon as you're on your feet again Everybody is your long-lost friend It's mighty strange without a doubt But nobody knows you when you're down and out When you're down and out [Outro] I said, it's mighty strange, yes, without a doubt But nobody knows you I'm tеllin' you, nobody needs you, baby Nobody knows you, baby, when you're down and out
