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!
