[ORPHANS]
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!
All (was solo1): Cotton blankets,
'All” Steada of wool!
Solo 1: Empty Bellies
All: 'Steada of full!
It's the hard-knock life!
[SOLO - Lerele]
Don't if feel like the wind is always howl'n?
Don't it seem like there's never any light!
[SOLO - Bailey)
Once a day, don't you wanna throw the towel in?
It's easier than puttin' up a fight.
[All - was Annie]
No one's there when your dreams at night get creepy!
No one cares if you grow...of if you shrink!
No one dries when your eyes get wet and weepy!
[ALL]
From the cryin' you would think this place would sink!
Ohhhh!!!!!!!
Empty belly life!
Rotten smelly life!
Full of sorrow life!
No tomorrow life!

No one cares for you a smidge
When you're in an orphanage!
It’s the hard knock life.
[SOLO]
(Making a whistling sound and imitating Miss. Hannigan)
You'll stay up till this dump shines
like the top of the Chrysler Building.
[4 SOLOS]
Yank the whiskers from her chin
Jab her with a safety pin
Make her drink a mickey finn
I love you, Miss Hannigan
[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!
SOLO 1 or small group)
You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all?
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
"Rudolph, with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
You'll go down in history"
