Louis Jordan - Nobody Knows You When You Are Down And Out

Kishore Kumar Hits — Louis Jordan - Nobody Knows You When You Are Down And Out lyrics

Artist: Louis Jordan

album: The Best Of Louis Jordan

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 wants you when you're down and out
In your pocket not one penny
And your friends you haven't any
And 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
Sitting way up on the side of a hill
I'd give champagne and caviar parties
Just for fun and to get a thrill
But the wrong folks made it in my town
They finally got in
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
And squeeze it till the eagle grins
It's mighty strange without a doubt
But nobody wants you, nobody needs you
Nobody wants you when you're down and out
