Nobody knows you when you're down and out
Once I lived the lifeof a millionairespending my moneyOh! I didn't care
Taking my friends outfor a mighty good timeOh! we'd drink that good ginchampagne and wine
But oh just as soonas my money got lowI couldn't find nobodyand I had no place to go
And if I ever get my handson a dollar againI'm gonna hold ontill the eagle winscause I found out
Nobody wants youwhen you're down and outnobody wants youwhen you're down and out
Lord have mercy
Yeah, yeah, now listen
Now in your pocketthere's not one pennyand all of them good friendsyou found out you haven't got any
Nobody come aroundbut the landlord and the taxmanyour ex-wife who saysshe wants more alimony
Then there's a knock on the doorand it's a woman you don't knowsays she's having your babyshe'll walk on in
But oh! just as soonas the money roll inhere they all come sayingsthat they're you're long lost friends
But if I ever get my handson a dollar againI believe, I believe I'll hold ontill the eagle winscause I found out
Nobody wants youwhen you're down and outnobody wants youwhen you're down and out
Nobody wants youwhen you're down and outnobody wants youwhen you're down and out
Nobody wants youwhen you're down and outnobody wants youwhen you're down and out
Nobody wants youwhen you're down and outnobody!nobody!nobody!
