Annie

Mama! Mommy!

Shut her up so I can sleep.

Molly, wake up and shut up.

- Leave Molly alone. - You wanna make something out of it?

- C ome on, J uly, b eat her up. - Get her, P epper!

- - Stop it!

Lay offJuly! If Hannigan wakes up, she'll get sore.

It's okay, Molly. You were just having another nightmare.

I want my mommy and daddy.

Uh, Molly, we ain't got mommies and daddies.

And we ain't ever gonna have 'em. That's why we're called orphans.

I'm not an orphan!

My parents are alive, and they're comin' to get me someday.

Yeah, and Annie's got a note that proves it.

Will you read it to me, Annie?

- Please? - Brother, here we go again.

"Please take good care of our little darling. Her name is Annie.

- She was born..." - Was born on October 28.

We will be back to get her soon.

We have left half of a silver locket around her neck...

and kept the other half,

so that when we come back for her, you will know...

that she's our baby!

Do you wanna sleep with y! Our teeth inside your mouth or out?

Now get to sleep! I know these don't mean anything to you,

but they're everything to me.

They're proof I got parents.

Do you really think they're out there, Annie?

Yep.

And I'm gonna meet 'em someday.

# Maybe far away #

# Or maybe real nearby #

# He may be pouring her coffee #

# She may be straightening his tie #

# Maybe in a house #

#All hidden by a hill #

# She's sittin' playin' piano #

# He's sittin' payin' a bill #

# Betcha they're young Betcha they're smart #

# Bet they collect things like ashtrays and art #

# Betcha they're good Why shouldn't they be #

#Their one mistake #

#Was giving up me #

# So maybe now it's time #

#And maybe when I wake #

#They'll be there calling me baby #

# Maybe #

# Betcha he reads Betcha she sews #

# Maybe she's made me a closet of clothes #

# Maybe they're strict as straight as a line #

# Don't really care #

#As long as they're mine #

# So maybe now this prayer's #

#The last one of its kind #

#Won't you please come get your baby #

# Maybe ##

- Now what? - If my folks haven't found me, I'm gonna find them.

- Again? - Pepper, watch out for Molly!

- But what if Miss Hannigan catches you? - She won't.

Boo. Trying to make a break... again.

- What the heck are you doing? - Aren't you gonna beat the tar out of me?

Have I ever hit any of ya?

No, but you've threatened. That's worse.

I know.

Kid, if any of you think it's bad in here, it's lousy out there.

I'm doin' you a favor by not lettin' you go.

- What do you say? - I love you, Miss Hannigan.

- I can't hear ya! - I love you, Miss Hannigan!

- Rotten orphan. - I'm not an orphan!

My parents left me with a note saying they'd come back for me.

That was 1922.

This is 1933. You're an orphan.

- Rise and shine! Rise and shine! -

But it's in the middle of the night.

Don't you think I know that? Annie here tried to run away... again.

So as a little welcome home party,

you're all gonna clean this dump till it shines like the top of the Chrysler Building.

- What do you say? - We love you, Miss Hannigan.

And I love you.

Now, scrub these floors. Strip them beds for the laundry man.

Get to work!

Now!

# It's the hard-knock life for us #

# It's a hard-knock life for us #

- # Instead of treated # - #We get tricked #

- # Instead of 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 #

- # Cotton blankets # - # Instead of wool #

- # Empty bellies # - # Instead of full #

# It's a hard-knock life #

# Don't it feel like the wind is always howling #

# 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 putting 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 crying you would think this place would twinkle #

# Empty-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 orphanage #

# It's the hard-knock life #

You're gonna clean this dump...

till it shines like the top of the Chrysler Building!

#Yank the whiskers from her chin #

#Jab her with a safety pin #

# Make her drink a Mickey Finn #

I love you, Miss Hannigan!

Get to work! Now!

Strip them beds! I said, get to work!

# It's a hard-knock life for us #

# It's a 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 a hard-knock life #

# It's the hard-knock life ##

- Good morning, children. - Good morning, Miss Hannigan.

- Good morning, Miss Hannigan. - What the heck?

- What are you doin' in there? - Nothin'.

Your days are numbered. Get her out of there.

Mornin', kids!

- Mornin', Mr. Bundles! - Morning, Miss Aggie!

Okay, kids, clean sheets once a month, whether you need them or not.

- Thank you, Mr. Bundles. -

Oh, Miss Aggie, I live for laundry day here at your fine establishment.

Bundles, you're full of applesauce.

Oh, Miss Aggie, won't you let me even take you out for an ice cream "sodee"?

- No. - How come?

'Cause I'm savin' myself for Oliver Warbucks.

Now get the lousy laundry. Get the heck outta here.

Oh, very well. So long, fair Aggie.

And Merry Christmas to all!

Bye, Mr. Bundles!

Miss Hannigan, may we please have our breakfast now?

- No. You may have it later. -

There's a rush order of dresses you gotta finish.

You'll eat after you're done at your sewing machines.

That is, if you done a good job.

Roll call!

- I love you, Miss Hannigan. - I love you, Miss Hannigan.

- I love you, Miss Hannigan. - I love you, Miss Hannigan.

- I love you, Miss Hannigan. - I love you, Miss Hannigan.

Annie! Get your little orphan self out here!

Miss Hannigan, Annie ain't here.

Really? Where is she?

Mr. Bundles rolled her out with the dirty laundry.

What?

I could lose my license. Bundles, come b ack here!

There she is! Where is she?

Stop that truck!

Come back, Bundles. Come back!

Somebody help me!

Go away!

- Yea! Annie made it! - # But the kid she's out there, free #

# Runnin' free in N.Y.C. #

# Bet she finds her folks like that #

# Mom and Dad right off the bat #

# No more hard-knock life No more hard-knock life #

# No more hard-knock #

# Life ##

Excuse me, I'm looking for my parents.

Pardon me, do you know anybody who kinda looks like me?

- Sir! - Hot corn!

Hot corn! Five cents!

- Gee, it smells great. - Tastes better.

- Wish I had a nickel. - Wish I had a nickel for every time someone said,

"Wish I had a nickel."

- - Don't you even think a b out...

Ow! Bitin' me!

- That's the last of'em. - Good, good. All right.

Let's drop these at the pound and take our lunch break somewheres warm.

- How ' b out Florida? - Yeah, good idea.

Hey, come back here! That's mine!

Oh, go on. Eat up.

What's wrong? Are they chasing you 'cause you're looking for your mom and dad too?

Don't worry. It's gonna be okay.

Sometimes it seems like the only thing you've got is trouble.

But things'll get better. They just gotta.

#The sun'll come out tomorrow #

# Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow #

#There'll be sun #

#Just thinkin' about tomorrow #

# Clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow #

#Till there's none #

#When I'm stuck with a day that's grey and lonely #

# I just stick out my chin and grin #

#And say #

# Oh #

#The sun'll come out tomorrow #

# So you gotta hang on till tomorrow #

# Come what may #

#Tomorrow, tomorrow #

# I love ya tomorrow #

#You're always a day away #
