Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out

Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spent all my money, didn't have any care
Took all my friends out for a -- good time
Bought bootleg liquor, champagne and wine;

Then I began to fall so low;
Lost all my good friends, had nowhere to go
I get my hands on a dollar again,
I'm gonna hang on to it till that old eagle grins.

'cause
Nobody knows you when you're down and out.
In your pocket, not one penny
And as for friends, you don't have any.

When you get back on your feet again
Everybody wants to be your long-lost friend
I said it straight, without a doubt
Nobody knows you when you're down and out.
