It's the hard-knock life for us
It's the hard-knock life for us
'Stead of treated - we get tricked
'Stead of kisses - we get kicked
It's the hard-knock life.
Got no folks to speak of so
It's the hard-knock ro 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 howling?
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 putting 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 drys when your eyes get wet and weepy
From the crying 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're gonna clean this dump, till it shines likes 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! Now! Strip that bed! I said get to work!
It's the hard-knock life for us
It's the hard-knock life for us
No-one cares for you a smidge, when you're in an orphanage
It's the hard-knock life
It's the hard-knock life
It's
The
Hard
Knock
Life
