Charles Strouse - Annie: It's the Hard-Knock Life lyrics

Artist: Charles Strouse

album: Annie (Original Broadway Cast Recording)


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 blanket
'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?
Once a day, don't you wanna throw the towel in?
It's easier than putting 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 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.
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!!!
