ORPHANS] 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 how Cotton blankets 'steada wool Empty Bellies 'Steada full! It's a hard-knock life! Don't it feel like the wind is always howlin? Don't it seem like there's never any light? What's a day you don't 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 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 you're in an orphanage It's the hard knock life (Making a whistling sound and imitating Miss Hannigan) You'll stay up 'til 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. Get to work! Strip them beds! Scrub that floor! Polish my shoes! And I mean. Start. NOW! 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!!!
