It's The Hard-Knock Life sing and play along
It's the hardknock life for us!
It's the hardknock life for us!
'Steada treated we get tricked.
'Steada kisses we get kicked.
It's the hardknock life!
Got no folks to speak of,
so it's the hardknock row we hoe.
Cotton blankets 'steada wool, empty bellies
'steada full.
It's the hardknock 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 want to 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 the cryin', you would think this place would sink.
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 hardknock life!
