It's a hard-knock life for us
It's a hard-knock life for us
'Stead of treated, we get tricked
'Stead of kisses, we get kicked
It's a hard-knock life
Got no folks to speak of, so
It's the hard-knock row we hoe
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 howlin'?
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 and weepy
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
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 'til this dump shines
Like the top of the Chrysler Building
Yank the whiskers from her chin
Jab her with a safety pin
Make her drink a Mickey Finn
I love you, Miss Hannigan
Get to work
Strip them beds
I said get to work!
It's a hard-knock life for us
It's a hard-knock life for us
No one cares for you a smidge
When you're in an orphanage
It's a hard-knock life (it's a hard-knock life)
It's a hard-knock life
Lucky kids, she's out there free
Running free in NYC
Bet she finds her folks like that
Mom and Dad, right off the bat
Lucky duck, she got away
But we're gonna have to pay
Gonna get our faces slapped
Gonna get our knuckles rapped
It's a hard-knock life (yes, it is)
It's a hard-knock life (yes, it is)
It's a hard-knock life (yes, it is)
It's a hard-knock life (yes, it is)
It's a hard-knock life
