Once I lived the life of a millionaire Spending my money, honey, I didn't care Taking my friends out for a mighty good time I drank that good gin, champagne and wine Just as soon as my money got low I couldn't find no friends and I had no place to go If I ever get my hands on a dollar again I'm gonna hold on to it till that eagle grins 'Cause I found out that nobody wants you Nobody wants you when they find out That you're down and out In your pocket, there's not not one penny And as for friends, you don't have any Just let you get back up on your feet again Here they all come telling you their your old long lost friend And this I wanna tell you and about it I have no doubt Nobody wants you, nobody needs you Nobody wants when you're down and out
