Once I lived the life of a millionaire,
Spent all my money, didn't have any care.
Took all my friends out for many good time,
Bought bootleg , 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 hang on to it till I all need ??
Because nobody knows it
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 up on your feet again,
Everybody wants to be your old long-lost friend.
I said it's strange, without any doubt.
Nobody knows you when you're down and out.
Because nobody knows it
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 upon your feet again,
Everybody wants to be your good old long-lost friend.
I said it's strange without any doubt,
Nobody knows you,
Nobody knows you,
Nobody knows you when you're down and out.
