Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out

[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
