Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out 歌詞
I once lived the life of a millionaire
Spending my money
I didnt care
Always taking my friends out for a good time
Buying champagne, gin and wine
But just as soon as my dough got low
I couldnt find a friend, no place
I goIf I ever get my hands on a dollar again
Im gonna squeeze it, and squeeze it till the eagle grins
Nobody knows you, when youre down and out
In your pocket, not one penny
And your friends, you havent any
And as soon as you get on your feet again
Everybody is your long lost friend
Its mighty strange, without a doubt, but
Nobody wants you, when youre down and out
You know folks,
I once had a mansion
Way up on the side of a hill
Id give champagne and caviar parties
Just for fun and they get a thrill
But you know things they just cant stay like that forever
And now I cant muscle up enough money to buy a shot of gin
But you know, if
I ever get my hands on a dollar again
Im gonna squeeze it, and squeeze it till the eagle grins
Its mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody wants you
Nobody needs you
Nobody wants you, when youre down and out
