Lyrics

It's a hard knock life..
It's a hard knock life.

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 the hard knock row we hoe
Cotton blankets ..steada wool

Empty bellies ..stead of 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 puttin' 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 cares when your eyes get wet and weepy
From all the cryin' you would think this place would sink
Ohhh.. ohhh

Empty belly life! ((empty belly life))
Rotten smelly life! ((no no no no))
Full of sorrow life! ((full of sorrow life...))
No tomorrow life!

Santa claus we never see..
Santa claus what's that? whos he?

No one cares for you a smidge
When you're in an orphanage

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 an orphanage
It's a hard-knock life
It's a hard-knock life
It's a hard-knock life!
