Annie - It's The Hard-Knock Life lyrics
rate meRPHANS
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!
Go' no folks to speak of, so,
It's the hard-knock row we hoe!
ANNIE
Cotton blankets,
ORPHANS
'Steada of wool!
ANNIE
Empty Bellies,
ORPHANS
'Steada of full!
ALL
It's the hard-knock life!
ANNIE
Don't if 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... of 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
MOLLY
You pig dropings
ORPHANS
Jab her with a safety Pin
MOLLY
Rotten orphans
ORPHANS
Make her drink a mickey finn
MOLLY
Nobdy love's you
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!
