"It's the Hard-Knock Life"

All:
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 HOE.

Annie:
COTTON BLANKETS

Orphans:
'STEADA WOOL,

Annie:
EMPTY BELLIES

Orphans:
'STEADA FULL,

All:
IT'S THE HARD-KNOCK LIFE.

Annie:
DON'T IT FEEL LIKE THE WIND IS ALWAYS HOWLIN'?

Kate & Tessie:
DON'T IT SEEM LIKE THERE'S NEVER ANY LIGHT?

Duffy & July:
ONCE A DAY, DON'T YOU WANT TO THROW THE TOWEL IN?

Molly & 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 OR IF YOU SHRINK,
NO ONE DRIES WHEN YOUR EYES GET WET AN' WEEPY.

All:
FROM THE CRYIN' YOU WOULD THINK THIS PLACE'D SINK. OH!

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!
IT'S THE HARD-KNOCK LIFE.

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:
Get to work!
Strip them beds!
Scrub that floor!
I said, get to work!

All except Molly:
IT'S THE HARD-KNOCK LIFE FOR US!

Molly:
Merry Christmas.

All except Molly:
IT'S THE HARD-KNOCK LIFE FOR US!

Molly:
Merry Christmas.

All except Molly:
NO ONE CARES FOR YOU A SMIDGE,

Molly:
Merry Christmas.

All except Molly:
WHEN YOU'RE IN AN ORPHANAGE!

All except Molly:
IT'S THE HARD-KNOCK LIFE.
IT'S THE HARD-KNOCK LIFE.
IT'S THE HARD KNOCK LIFE.
