Once I lived the life of a millionaire Spent all my money, I just did not care I took all my friends out for a mighty good time I bought them their favorite liquor, champagne, and wine Then I began to fall so low Lost all my friends, had nowhere to go If I ever get my hands on a dollar again I'm gonna hang on to it 'til old George grins Nobody knows you when you're down and out In your pocket, not one penny And none of your friends, will yeah, you don't have any When you get back on your feet again Everybody wants to be your old long-lost friend, yeah I know it's crazy without any doubt Nobody knows you when you're down and out When you're down and out ♪ When you're down and out ♪ And none of your friends, will yeah, you don't have any It feels so alone Nobody wants me forever Without any doubt Nobody knows you when you're down and out Whoa When you're down and out
