Annie - It's The Hard-Knock Life lyrics

[ORPHANS] It's a hard-knock life for us! It's a hard-knock life for us! [ANNIE] 'Stead of treated, [ORPHANS] We get tricked! [ANNIE] 'Stead of kisses, [ORPHANS] We get kicked! [ALL] It's a hard-knock life! Got no folks to speak of, so, It's the hard-knock row we hoe [ANNIE] Cotton blankets [ORPHANS] 'stead a wool [ANNIE] Empty Bellies [ORPHANS] 'Stead a full! [ALL] It's a hard-knock life! [ANNIE] Don't it feel like the wind is always howl'n? [KATE AND TESSIE] Don't it seem like there's never any light! [ANNIE and MOLLY] Once a day, don't you wanna throw the towel in? [PEPPER,JULY] It's easier than putting up a fight. [ANNIE] No one's there when your dreams at night are creepy! No one cares if you grow or if you shrink! No one dries when your eyes get wet and weepy [ALL] From the crying you would think this place's would 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 your in an orphanage! It's the hard knock life [MOLLY] (Making a whistling sound and imitating Miss Hannigan) You're gonna scrub this dump till it shines like the top of the Chrysler building. [ORPHANS (Except Molly)] Yank the whiskers from her face Jab her with a safety Pin Make her drink a Mickey Finn I love you Miss Hannigan (Molly) Get to work! scrub the floors 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 (Molly) When your in an orphanage It's a hard-knock life! It's a hard-knock life! It's a hard-knock life!
