It's a hard-knock life for us
It's a hard-knock life for us
'Stead of treatin', we get tricks
'Stead of kisses, we get kicks
It's a hard-knock life
Got no folks to speak of, so
It's a hard-knock row we hoe
Cotton blankets 'stead of wool
Empty bellies 'stead of full
It's a 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' it might make this place a sink
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 a hard-knock life
You 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 her medicine
I love you, Miss Hannigan
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
