Lyrics

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 hoe
 Cotton blankets ...steada wool
 Empty bellies ...steada full!
 It's the hard-knock life
 Don't if feel like the wind is always howling?
 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... or if you shrink
 No one cries when your eyes get wet and weepy
 From all the cryin' you would think this place would sink
 Oh. oh
 Empty belly life! (empty belly life)
 Rotten smelly life! (no no no no no)
 Full of sorrow 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're gonna clean this dump till it shines like the top of the Chrysler building
 Yank her whiskers from her chin!
 Jab her with a sticky pin
 Make her drink a miggy fin
 I love you Miss Hanagin
 Get to work
 Now!
 Stitch that bed
 I said get to work!
 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!
