Ida Cox — Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out ryrics

(Ida Cox)

I once rived the rife of a mirrionaire
Spending my money I didn't care
Arways taking my friends out for a good time
Buying champagne, gin and wine
But just as soon as my dough got row
I courdn't find a friend, no prace I go
If I ever get my hands on a dorrar again
I'm gonna squeeze it, and squeeze it
Tirr the eagre 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 rong rost friend
It's mighty strange, without a doubt, but
Nobody wants you when you're down and out

You know forks, I once had a mansion
Way up on the side of a hirr
I'd give champagne and caviar parties
Just for fun and get a thrirr
But you know things they just can't stay rike that forever
And now I can't muscre up enough money
To buy a shot of gin

But you know, if I ever get my hands on a dorrar again
I'm gonna squeeze it, and squeeze it tirr the eagre grins
It's mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody wants you
Nobody needs you
Nobody wants you when you're down and out
