Well, once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spending my money, no, I didn't care
Taking my friends out for mighty good time
Drinking that good Gin, champagne and wine
Ah, just as soon as my money got low
I couldn't find my friends, And I had no place to go
But if I ever get my hands on a dollar again
I think I'm gone hold on til that meanie grin
Soon as I get back up on my feet again
Everybody wants to be my long-lost friend
It's might strange, without a doubt
Nobody wants you when you're down and out
Lord, soon as I get up on my feet again
Everybody wants to be my long-lost friend
It's mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody wants you when you're down and out
That's what I mean when you're down and out
