It's A Hard Knock Life
Aileen Quinn Toni Ann Gisondi & Chorus Lyrics


It's a hard-knock life for us!
It's a hard-knock life for us!

'Stead of treated
We get tricked!
'Stead of kisses
We get kicked!

It's a hard-knock life!
Got no folks to speak of, so
It's a hard-knock row we ho

Cotton blanket
'stead a wool
Empty Bellies
'Stead a full!
It's a 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 towel in?
It's easier than putting up a fight

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

From the crying you would think this place's would sink!
Ohhhh
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 a orphanage
It's a hard knock life

(Making a whistling sound and imitating Miss Hannigan)
You'll stay up till 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 Miss Hannigan

Molly
Get to work!
Strip them beds!
Scrub that floor!
Polish my shoes!
And I mean
Start
NOW!

It's a hard-knock life for us
It's a hard-knock life for us
No one cares for you a smidge
When your in a orphanage
It's a hard-knock life!
It's a hard-knock life!
It's a hard-knock life!

Jesus these poor orphans are great at gymnastics

@Dan-di9jd

That orphanage is piss poor and underfunded yet they got a million bucks right there if they can somehow use them as a circus act.

You really gotta appreciate the fact that these kids actually sound like kids when they sing, as opposed to the later film adaptations where theyโ€™re all autotuned to oblivion

@sashatiana-alize6186

Agreed

@sharpaycutie2

They think they're off beat movements are cute lol

@corriehingston6744

Agreed. Autotune (when not used properly) is ridiculous and sounds fake. This sounds like a group of children singing as children
