Lyrics

Once I lived the life of a millionaire I spent my money, I didn't care Took all of my friends out for my good time I bought champagne, caviar, gin, wine Just as soon as my money got low Couldn't find one friend no place to go But I ever get my hands on a dollar again I'm gonna hold on to it, squeeze it 'til the eagle grins No, nobody knows you when you are down and out In your pockets, not even one penny Your friends, where are your friends? You haven't got any Ooh, all you have to do All you have to do is get back up on your feet again And everybody wants to be your long-lost friend It's mighty strange, but without a doubt Nobody knows you when you are down Nobody knows you when you are down and out In your pocket, not even one penny Your friends, where are your friends? You haven't got any, yeah, yeah All you have to do, get halfway back up And everybody wants to be your long- Your long-lost friend, yes, they do It's mighty strange, oh, but without a doubt Nobody, nobody knows you Nobody needs you, you better believe it Nobody knows you when you are down and out, oh yeah
