Little Orphan Annie - Hard Knock Life lyrics

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 it 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...or 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. k** k**. (Orphans) Yank the whiskers from her chin (Molly) Little pig droppings! (Orphans) Jab her with a safety Pin (Molly) Rotten orphans! (Pepper) Make her drink a Mickey Finn (Molly) Nobody loves you! (Orphans) We love you, Miss Hannigan! (Molly) (whistle) Get to work! (whistle) Strip them beds! (whistle) Scrub them floors! Polish my shoes! And I mean, (whistles) start now! (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!
