It's The Hard-knock Life Lyrics - X Factor (uk)

[ORPHANS] 

It's the hard-knock life for us! 

It's the hard-knock life for us! 

[ANNIE] 

'Steada treated, 

[ORPHANS] 

We get tricked! 

[ANNIE] 

'Steada 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 how! 

[ANNIE] 

Cotton blankets, 

[ORPHANS] 

'Steada of wool! 

[ANNIE] 

Empty Bellies 

[ORPHANS] 

'Steada of full! 

[ALL] 

It's the hard-knock life! 

[ANNIE] 

Don't if feel like the wind is always howl'n? 

[KATE AND TESSIE] 

Don't it seem like there's never any light! 

[DUFFY AND JULY] 

Once a day, don't you wanna throw the towel in? 

[MOLLY AND PEPPER] 

It's easier than puttin' up a fight. 

[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 an' weepy! 

[ALL] 

From all the cryin' 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 you're in an orphanage! 

[MOLLY] 

(Making a whistling sound and imitating Miss. Hannigan) 

You'll stay up till this dump shines 

like the top of the Chrysler Building. 

[ORPHANS] 

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 your in an orphanage 

It's the hard-knock life 

It's the hard-knock life 

It's the hard-knock life!
