It's the hard-knock life for us!
It's the hard-knock life for us!
'Steada treated, we get tricked!
'Steada kisses, we get kicked!
It's the hard-knock life!
Got no folks to speak of, so
It's the hard-knock row we ho
Cotton blankets, 'stead of wool!
Empty bellies 'stead of full!
It's the hard-knock life!
Don't it feel like the wind is always howl'n?
Don't it seem like there's never any light!
Once a day, don't you wanna throw the towel in?
It's easier than puttin' up a fight
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
From the cryin' you would think this place would sink!
Oh!
Empty belly life
Rotten smelly life
Full of sorrow life
No tomorrow life!
Santa Claus we never see
Santa Claus, what's that?
Who's he?
No one cares for you a smidge
When you're in an orphanage
It's the hard-knock life!
You'll stay up till this dump shines like the top of the Chrysler Building
Kill! Kill!
Yank the whiskers from her chin (Little pig droppings!)
Jab her with a safety Pin (Rotten orphans!)
Make her drink a mickey finn (Nobody loves me)
I love you, Miss. Hannigan
Get to work!
Strip them beds!
Scrub that floor!
Polish my shoes!
And I mean start now!
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
The hard-knock life!
