Orphans

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!

Got no folks to speak of, so,

It's the hard-knock row we know!



Annie

Cotton blankets,



Orphans

'Steada of wool!



Annie

Empty Bellies



Orphans

'Steada of full!



All

It's the hard-knock life!



Annie

Don't it 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...or 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

Jab her with a safety Pin

Make her drink a Mickey Finn

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!
