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!
Got no folks to speak of, so,
It's the hard-knock row we hoe!
Cotton blankets, 'Steada of wool!
Empty Bellies 'Steada of full!
It's the hard-knock life!
Verse
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 puttin' 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 an' weepy!
From all the cryin' you would think this place would sink!
Ohhhh
Bridge
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!
N.C.
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!
