Annie Hard Knock Life Lyrics

[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 how!

[ANNIE] Cotton blankets,

[ORPHANS]'Steada of wool!

[ANNIE] Empty Bellies

[ORPHANS]'Steada of full!

[ALL] It's the hard-knock life!

[ANNIE] Don't if feel like the wind is always howl'n?

[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...of 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!
