(::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 how!

(::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 howl'n?

(::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
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!
