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 how
Cotton blankets
'Steada of wool
Empty bellies
'Steada of full
It's the hard-knock life
 
Don't if 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 get creepy
No one cares if you grow...of if you shrink
No one dries when your eyes get wet an' weepy
From all the cryin' you would think this place's a sink
Oh!
 
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
 
You'll stay up till 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 your in an orphanage
It's the hard-knock life
It's the hard-knock life
It's the hard-knock life
