Il testo della It's the hard-knock life

(orphans)
It's the hard-knock life for us!
It's the hard-knock life for us!
(annie)
'stead of treats,
(orphans)
We get tricked!
(annie)
'stead of 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)
'stead a wool
(annie)
Empty bellies
(orphans)
'stead a full!
(all)
It's the hard-knock life!
(annie)
Don't it feel like the wind is always howl'n?
(kate and tessie)
Don't it seem like there's never any light!
(annie and molly)
Once a day, don't you wanna throw the towel in?
(pepper,july)
It's much 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 all the crying you would think this place's a 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 your a foster kid!
It's the hard knock life
(molly)
(making a whistling sound and imitating miss hannigan)
You're gonna clean my bathroom till it shines
But don't touch my medicine cabnet

(orphans (except molly))

Yank the whiskers from her face
Jab her with a safety pin
Make her drink a mickey finn
I love you miss hannigan
( molly)
Get to work!
Strip them beds!
I said get to work!
(all)
It's the hard-knock life for us
( molly)
Merry christmas (in background)
It's the hard-knock life for us
No one cares for you a smidge
( molly)
Merry christmas (in background)
When your a foster kid!
It's the hard-knock life!
It's the hard-knock life!
It's the hard-knock life!
