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 how!

Cotton blankets,

Empty Bellies 



[ORPHANS]

[ANNIE]

Don't if feel like the wind is always howl'n? 



[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!
