Hard Knock Life - Little Orphan Annie

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 know! 

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. 

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!
