Miscellaneous
Hard Knock Life
Orphans
It's the hard-knock life for us!
It's the hard-knock life for us!

Annie
'Steada treated,

Orphans
We get tricked!

Annie
'Steada kisses,

Orphans
We get kicked!

All
It's the hard-knock life!
Got no folks to speak of, so,
It's the hard-knock row we know!

Annie
Cotton blankets,

Orphans
'Steada of wool!

Annie
Empty Bellies

Orphans
'Steada of full!

All
It's the hard-knock life!

Annie
Don't it feel like the wind
is always howlin'?

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!
[ Little Orphan Annie Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
No one cares if you grow...or 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!
