Spent all my money, didn't have any care

I'm gonna hang on to it 'til that old eagle grins
[Chorus]
Because nobody knows you
When you're down and out
In your pocket, not one penny
And as for friends, you don't have many

Everybody wants to be your long, lost friend
I said it's strange, without any doubt
Nobody knows you when you're down and out
[Solo]
[Chorus]
No, nobody knows you
When you're down and out
In your pocket, not one penny
And as for friends, you don't have many
[Outro]
When you get back on your feet again
Everybody wants to be your long, lost friend
I said it's strange, without any doubt
Nobody knows you (Nobody knows you)
Nobody knows you (Nobody knows you)
Nobody knows you when you're down and out
