[ORPHANS]
It's a hard-knock life for us
It's a hard-knock life for us
[ANNIE]
'Steada treated
[ORPHANS]
We get tricked
[ANNIE]
'Steada kisses
[ORPHANS]
We get kicked
[ALL]
It's a hard-knock life
Got no folks to speak of so
It's a hard-knock row we hoe
[ANNIE]
Cotton blankets
[ORPHANS]
'Steada of wool
[ANNIE]
Empty bellies
[ORPHANS]
'Steada of full
[ALL]
It's a hard-knock life
[ANNIE]
Don't it feel like the wind is always howlin'?
[KATE]
Don't it seem like there's never any light?
[DUFFY]
Once a day don't you wanna throw the towel in?
[ORPHANS]
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 and weepy
[ALL]
From the cryin' you would think this place's a sink!
Oh!
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!
It's the hard-knocklife
[MOLLY, spoken]
(Making a whistling sound and imitating Miss. Hannigan)
You'll stay up till this dump shines like the top of the Chrysler
Building
[ANNIE & ORPHANS]
Yank the whiskers from her chin
Jab her with a safety pin
Make her drink a Mickey Finn
I love you, Miss Hannigan
It's a hard-knock life for us
It's a hard-knock life for us
No one cares for you a smidge
When your in an orphanage
It's a hard-knock life
It's a hard-knock life
It's a hard-knock life
