Lyrics
[ORPHANS] It's a hard-knock life for us It's a hard-knock life for us [ANNIE] 'Steada treated [ORPHANS] We get tricked [ANNIE] 'Steada kisses [ORPHANS] We get kicked [ALL] It's a hard-knock life Got no folks to speak of so It's a hard-knock row we hoe [ANNIE] Cotton blankets [ORPHANS] 'Steada of wool [ANNIE] Empty bellies [ORPHANS] 'Steada of full [ALL] It's a hard-knock life [ANNIE] Don't it feel like the wind is always howlin'? [KATE] Don't it seem like there's never any light? [DUFFY] Once a day don't you wanna throw the towel in? [ORPHANS] 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 or if you shrink No one dries when your eyes get wet and weepy [ALL] From the cryin' you would think this place's a sink! Oh! 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! It's the hard-knocklife [MOLLY, spoken] (Making a whistling sound and imitating Miss. Hannigan) You'll stay up till this dump shines like the top of the Chrysler Building [ANNIE & ORPHANS] Yank the whiskers from her chin Jab her with a safety pin Make her drink a Mickey Finn I love you, Miss Hannigan It's a hard-knock life for us It's a hard-knock life for us No one cares for you a smidge When your in an orphanage It's a hard-knock life It's a hard-knock life It's a hard-knock life
