It's The Hard Knock Life

It's the hard knock life

It's the hard knock life

It's the hard-knock life for us

It's the hard-knock life for us

Steada treated,

We get tricked

Steada kisses,

We get kicked

It's the hard-knock life!

Got no folks to speak of, so

It's the hard knock row we hoe

Cotton blankets, steada wool

Empty bellies, steada full!

It's the hard-knock life

Don't if 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 dries when your eyes get wet and weepy

From all the cryin' you would think this place would sink

Oh, oh

Empty belly life! (empty belly life)

Rotten smelly life! (No 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? Who's he?

No one cares for you a smidge

When you're in an orphanage

It's the hard-knock life for us

It's the hard-knock life for us

No one cares for you a smidge

When your in an orphanage

It's the hard-knock life

It's the hard-knock life

It's the hard-knock life!
