ORPHANS
It's the hard-knock life for us
It's the hard-knock life for us
In stead of treated, we get tricked
In stead of kisses, we get kicked

It's the hard-knock life
Got no folks to speak of, so
It's the hard-knock row we how
Cotton blankets instead of wool
Empty Bellies instead of full
It's the hard-knock life

ANNIE
Don't it feel like the wind is always howling?

KATE & TESSIE
Don't it seem like there's never any light?

DUFFY & JULY
Once a day, don't you wanna throw the towel in?

MOLLY & PEPPER
It's easier than putting 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 and weepy

ORPHANS
From all the crying you would think this place's a sink
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?

ORPHANS
No one cares for you a smidge
When you're in an orphanage

MOLLY
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
We love you, Miss Hannigan

MOLLY
Get to work, sthem beds
I said get to work, and I mean, start now

ORPHANS
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
The hard-knock life
