It S The Hardknock Life lyrics

ORPHANS

It`s the hard-knock life for us!
It`s the hard-knock life for us!

ANNIE

`Steada treated,

ORPHANS

We get tricked!

ANNIE

`Steada kisses,

ORPHANS

We get kicked!

ALL

It`s the hard-knock life!
Got no folks to speak of, so,
It`s the hard-knock row we hoe!

ANNIE

Cotton blankets,

ORPHANS

`Steada of wool!

ANNIE

Empty Bellies,

ORPHANS
`Steada of full!

ALL

It`s the hard-knock life!

ANNIE

Don`t if feel like the wind is always howlin?

KATE AND TESSIE

Don`t it seem like there`s never any light!

DUFFY AND JULY

Once a day, don`t you wanna throw the towel in?

MOLLY AND PEPPER

It`s easier than puttin` up a fight.

ANNIE

No one`s there when your dreams at night get creepy!
No one cares if you grow...of if you shrink!
No one dries when your eyes get wet an` weepy!

ALL

From all the cryin` you would think this place`s a sink!
Ohhhh!!!!!!!
Empty belly life!
Rotten smelly life!
Full of sorrow life!
No tomorrow life!

MOLLY

Santa Claus we never see

ANNIE

Santa Claus, what`s that?
Who`s he?

ALL

No one cares for you a smidge
When you`re in an orphanage!

MOLLY

(Making a whistling sound and imitating Miss. Hannigan)
You`ll stay up till this dump shines like the top of the Chrysler Building.

ORPHANS

Yank the whiskers from her chin
Jab her with a safety Pin
Make her drink a mickey finn
I love you, Miss Hannigan

MOLLY

(whistle)
Get to work!
(whistle)
Strip them beds!
(whistle)
I said get to work!

ALL
It`s the hard-knock life for us
It`s the hard-knock life for us
No one cares for you a smidge
When your in an orphanage
It`s the hard-knock life
It`s the hard-knock life
It`s the hard-knock life!
