Once I lived the life of a millionaire,
Spending my money honey, I didn´ 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 holdon 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
