It's a hard knock life for us,
It's a hard knock life for us,
'Stead a treated, we get tricked,
'Stead a 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.
Cotten blankets, 'stead of wool,
Empty bellies, 'stead of 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?
Once a day don't you want to 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 and weepy,
From the cryin' you would think this place would sink.
(Oh!)
Empty Belly Lies!
Rotten Smelly life!
Full of sorrow life!
No tomorrow life!
Santa Claus we never see,
Santa Claus,
Whats that?
Who's he?
No one cares for you a smidge!
When you're in an orphanage!
It's the hard knock life!
Molly:
You're gonna clean this dump
Till it shines
Like the top of the Chrysler building!
Yank the whiskers from her chin!
Jab her with a safety pin!
Make her drink a Milky fin!
I LOVE YOU MISS HANNIGAN!
Molly:
GET TO WORK
NOW!
STRIP THAT BED!
I SAID GET TO WORK!
It's a hard knock life for us,
It's a 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 a hard knock life)
It's
The
Hard
Knock
Life
