|
I once lived the life of a millionaire |
|
Spending my money |
|
I didn't 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 couldn't find a friend, no place |
|
I goIf I ever get my hands on a dollar again |
|
I'm gonna squeeze it, and squeeze it till the eagle grins |
|
Nobody knows you, when you're down and out |
|
In your pocket, not one penny |
|
And your friends, you haven't any |
|
And as soon as you get on your feet again |
|
Everybody is your long lost friend |
|
It's mighty strange, without a doubt, but |
|
Nobody wants you, when you're down and out |
|
You know folks, |
|
I once had a mansion |
|
Way up on the side of a hill |
|
I'd give champagne and caviar parties |
|
Just for fun and they get a thrill |
|
But you know things they just can't stay like that forever |
|
And now I can't muscle up enough money to buy a shot of gin |
|
But you know, if |
|
I ever get my hands on a dollar again |
|
I'm gonna squeeze it, and squeeze it till the eagle grins |
|
It's mighty strange, without a doubt |
|
Nobody wants you |
|
Nobody needs you |
|
Nobody wants you, when you're down and out |
