It's The Hard-Knock Life

It's a hard-knock life for us!
It's a hard-knock life for us!

'Stead of treated
We get tricked!
'Stead of kisses
We get kicked!

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

It's a hard-knock life!
Don't it feel like the wind is always howl'n?
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 putting up a fight.

No one's there when your dreams at night are creepy!
No one cares if you grow or if you shrink!
No one dries when your eyes get wet and weepy.

From the crying you would think this place's would sink!
Ohhhh!
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 your in an orphanage!
It's the hard knock life.

(Making a whistling sound and imitating Miss Hannigan)
You're gonna scrub this dump till it shines
Like the top of the Chrysler building.

Yank the whiskers from her face
Jab her with a safety Pin
Make her drink a Mickey Finn
I love you Miss Hannigan
Get to work!
Scrub the floors
I said get to work!

It's the hard-knock life for her
It's the hard-knock life for her
No one cares for you a smidge
When your in an orphanage
It's a hard-knock life!
It's a hard-knock life!
It's a hard-knock life!
