Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out

Once I lived the life of a millionaire

Spendin' all my money, I just didn't care

Took all my friends out for a mighty good time

Drinkin' bootleg whiskey, Champagne and wine

Then I began to sink so low

Lost all my money, didn't have nowhere to go

If I ever get my hands on a dollar again

I'm gonna squeeze it 'til that old eagle grins

(Nobody knows you)

Nobody knows you

(When you're down and out)

In your pocket (uh-huh)

You ain't got one penny (can't jingle it)

And all your so-called friends

You just ain't got any

When I get back on my feet again

Tell me, what you gon' do?

Everybody gonna wanna be my long-lost friend

It's mighty strange, without a doubt

But nobody knows you when you down

When you're down and out

(Nobody knows you)

Nobody knows you (no, they don't)

(When you're down and out)

Ooh, in your pocket

You ain't got a red penny

Your so-called friends

You just ain't got any

When you begin to get back on your feet again (say it, now)

Everybody want to be your long-lost friend (yeah, they do)

It's mighty strange

Without a doubt (nobody)

Can use you when you down and out

(Nobody knows you)

No, they don't

(When you're down and out)

Hoo (say it)

In your pocket (heh)

You ain't got no penny

You ain't got no friends (fools)

Well, you just ain't got any (ain't got, yeah)

No-oh-no

No
