Nobody Knows You When You’re Down And Out

Lyrics for 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
