Once I lived the life of a millionaire
  Spending my money, I didn't care
  Takin' my friends out for a mighty good time
  drinkin' high priced liquor, champagne and wine
  Then I began to fall so low
  couldn't buy me no friends, have no place to go
  If I ever get my hands on a dollar again
  I'm gonna hold on to it, till the eagle grins
  
  I said nobody knows you when you're down and out
  In your pocket, you ain't got one penny
  And your friends, you didn't have any
  Just as soon as you get up on your feet again
  Everybody wants to be your long-lost friend
  Oh lord without a doubt
  Nobody wants you, nobody needs
  you nobody wants you
  when you're down and out
  I say nobody wants you
  nobody needs you
  nobody wants you when you're down and out
