N/O

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 go 
If 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 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
