It's The Hard-knock Life Lyrics - Annie

[ORPHANS] 

It's a hard-knock life for us! 

It's a hard-knock life for us! 

[ANNIE] 

'Stead of treated, 

[ORPHANS] 

We get tricked! 

[ANNIE] 

'Stead of kisses, 

[ORPHANS] 

We get kicked! 

[ALL] 

It's a hard-knock life! 

Got no folks to speak of, so, 

It's the hard-knock row we how 

[ANNIE] 

Cotton blankets

This scene from Austin Powers in Goldmember could be our favorite pop culture moment that "It's The Hard-Knock Life" appears in: See all 

[ORPHANS] 

'steada wool 

[ANNIE] 

Empty Bellies 

[ORPHANS] 

'Steada full! 

[ALL] 

It's a hard-knock life! 

[ANNIE] 

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

[KATE AND TESSA] 

Don't it seem like there's never any light? 

[ANNIE and MOLLY] 

What's a day you don't wanna throw the towel in? 

[PEPPER,JULY] 

It's easier than putting up a fight. 

[ANNIE] 

No one's there when your dreams at night are creepy! 

No one cares if you grow or if you shrink! 

No one dries when your eyes get wet and weepy 

[ALL] 

From the crying you would think this place would 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 

It's the hard knock life 

[MOLLY] 

(Making a whistling sound and imitating Miss Hannigan) 

You'll stay up 'til this dump shines like the top of the Chrysler Building. 

[ORPHANS (Except Molly)] 

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! 

Polish my shoes! 

And I mean. 

Start. 

NOW! 

[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 you're in an orphanage 

It's The Hard Knock Life! 

It's the Hard Knock Life! 

IT'S THE HARD KNOCK LIFE!!!
