[Verse 1]
Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spending my money without any care
I took my friends for a mighty good time
Bought bootleg liquor, champagne and wine
Then I began to fall so low
I lost my good friends, had nowhere to go
I get my hands on a dollar again
I'll hang on to it 'til that eagle grins

[Chorus]
'Cause nobody knows you
When you're down and out
In your pocket, not one penny
And as for friends, you don't have any

[Verse]
When you get back on your feet again
Everybody wants to be your long, lost friend
I said it's strange, without any doubt
Nobody knows you when you're down and out

[Solo]

[Chorus]
Nobody knows you
When you're down and out
In your pocket, not one penny
And as for friеnds, you don't have any
[Outro]
When you get back on your feet again
Evеrybody wants to be your long, lost friend
I said it's strange, without any doubt
Nobody knows you when you're down and out
