Once I lived t

            
he life of a m

             
illionaire
            
Spent all my m

   
oney, just did

 not care
           
Took all my fr

             
iends out for 

    
a good time
            
Bought bootleg

         
 whisky, champ

agne and wine

Then I began to fall so low
Lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go
If I get my hands on a dollar again
I'm gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins, yeah

Cause no, no, nobody knows you
When you're down and out
In your pocket, not one penny
And as for friends, you don't have any

When you finally get back up on your feet again
Everybody wants to be your old long-lost friend
Said it's mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody knows you when you're down and out

When you finally get back upon your feet again,
Everybody wants to be your good old long-lost friend
Said it's mighty strange
            
Nobody knows y

Nobody knows y

Nobody knows y
