You know when you get on your feet again
Everyone will want to be your friend (2x)

Everyone will want to shake your hand
Everyone will want to see you again
They’ll all pat you on your back
Smile and tell you that they’re glad you’re back
But when you get on your feet again
Everyone will want to be your friend

But when you’re down and out
There ain’t a friend in the world that’ll help you out

But when you get on your feet again…

They’ll tell you that they’ll stand by you never let you down
But when you start sinkin’ low there isn’t one of your friends to be found

Yeah, when your ship comes in
Surprise all of your so-called friends
Give them-give them a helping hand
Show them all that you’re a bigger man
Yeah, when you get on your feet again
Everyone will want to be your friend

But when you’re down and out…

Your friends, All of your friends….
