Little Orphan Annie Hard Knock Life Lyrics

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 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!
