It's The Hard Knock Life

It's the hard knock life

(Hard-knock life, a hard-knock life)

(Hard-knock life, a hard-knock life)

It's the hard knock life

It's the hard knock life

(Hard-knock life, a hard-knock life)

(Hard-knock life, a 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

It's the hard knock life

(Hard-knock life, 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, steada full

It's the hard-knock life

It's the hard knock life

(Hard-knock life, a 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 fightNo one's there when your dreams at night get creepy

No one cares if you grow or if you shrink

No one cries when your eyes get wet and weepy

From all the cryin' you would think this place would sinkEmpty belly life, rotten smelly 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 orphanageIt'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

It's the hard knock life
