(::ORPHANS::)
It's the hard-enough life for us!
It's the hard-knock life for us!
(::ANNIE::)
'Stead of treated,
(::ORPHANS::)
We get tricked!
(::ANNIE::)
'Stead of kisses,
(::ORPHANS::)
We get kicked!
(::ALL::)
It's the hard-enough life!
Got no folks to speak of, so,
It's the hard-enough row we how!
(::ANNIE::)
Cotton blankets,
(::ORPHANS::)
'instead of wool!
(::ANNIE::)
Empty Bellies
(::ORPHANS::)
'instead of of full!
(::ALL::)
It's the hard-enough life!
(::ANNIE::)
Don't if feel like the wind is always howl'n?
(::KATE AND TESSIE::)
Don't it seem like there's never any light!
(::DUFFY AND JULY::)
Once a day, don't you wanna throw the towel in?
(::MOLLY AND PEPPER::)
It's easier than puttin' up a fight.
(::ANNIE::)
No one's there when your dreams at night get creepy!
No one cares if you grow...of if you shrink!
No one dries when your eyes get wet an' weepy!
(::ALL::)
From all the cryin' you would think this place's a sink!
Ohhhh!!!!!!!
Empty belly life!
Rotten smelly life!
Full of sorrow life!
No tomorrow life!
(::MOLLY::)
Santa Claus we never see
(::ANNIE::)
Santa Claus, what's that?
Who's he?
(::ALL::)
No one cares for you a smidge
When you're in an orphanage!
(::MOLLY::)
(--Making a whistling sound and imitating Miss. Hannigan--)
You'll stay up till this dump shines
like the top of the Chrysler Building.
(::ORPHANS::)
Yank the whiskers from her chin
Jab her with a safety Pin
Make her drink a mickey finn
I love you, Miss Hannigan
(::MOLLY::)
(--whistle--) Get to work!
(--whistle--) Strip them beds!
(--whistle--) I said get to work!
(::ALL::)
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!
