It's The Hard-Knock Life

It's the hard-knock life for us!
It's the hard-knock life for us!
'Steada treated
We get tricked!
'Steada kisses
We get kicked!
It's the hard-knock life!

Don't it feel like the wind is always howlin'?
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 puttin' up a fight.

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!
From all the cryin' you would think this place's a sink!

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 you're in an orphanage!
It's the hard-knock life!

(Making a whistling sound and imitating Miss. Hannigan)
You'll stay up till this dump shines like the top of the Chrysler building.

Yank the whiskers from her chin
Jab her with a safety Pin
Make her drink a mickey finn
I love you, Miss Hannigan.

It's the hard-knock life for us
It's the hard-knock life for us
No one cares for you a smidge
When you're in an orphanage.

It's the hard-knock life
It's the hard-knock life
It's the hard-knock life!
