Santa Claus we never see
Santa Claus, what's that?
Who's he?
No one cares for you a bit
When you're a foster kid
It's the hard-knock life
Make my bathroom shine
But don't touch my medicine cabinet
It's the hard-knock life for us (yank the whiskers from her chin)
It's the hard-knock life for us (jab her with a safety pin)
'Stead of treated
We get tricked (send her to the looney bin)
'Stead of kisses
We get kicked
It's the hard-knock life for us (yank the whiskers from her chin)
It's the hard-knock life for us (jab her with a safety pin)
No one cares for you a bit (send her to the looney bin)
When you're a foster kid
It's the hard-knock life
It's the hard-knock life
