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!
Got no folks to speak of so
It's the hard-knock row we hoe
Cotton blankets
'Steada wool!
Empty bellies
'Steada full!
It's the hard-knock life
Don't it feel like the wind is always howlin'
Don't it feel 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 drys when your eyes get red and weepy
From the cryin' you would think this place a sink
Ohhhhhhh
Empty belly life!
Rotten smelly life!
Full of sorrow life!
No tomorrow life!
Santa Clause we never see
Santa Clause, what's that? Who's he?
No one cares for you a smidge
When your in an orphanage
It's the hard-knock life!
(You stay up 'till this dump shines like the top of the Chrysler building!)
Attack her!
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 your in an orphanage
It's the hard-knock life!
It's the hard-knock life!
It's the hard-knock life!
