Now you get down on your knobby little knees and clean this dump until it shines like the top of the Chrysler building!
Why any kid would want to be an orphan, I'll never know.
It's the hard knock life for us.
It's the hard knock life for us. '
Stead of treated, we get tricked. 'stead of kisses we get kicked.
It's the hard knock life.
Got no folks to speak of so it's the hard row we ho.
Cotton blankets,'stead of wool.
Empty bellies,'stead of full.
It's the 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 towl 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 red and weepy.
From the crying you would think this place would sink.
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 until 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 Mrs.
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!
