K and 1 parents: Missing Lyrics

Hi parents! A few of you noticed that the packet of lyrics somehow is missing 3 songs. We are not sure how that happened either because they were all in one document! Regardless, we are running them off for them, but in the meantime here they are! The songs are Maybe, Hard Knock Life, and NYC. 

MAYBE

Annie
Maybe far away
Or maybe real nearby,
He may be pourin’ her coffee,
She may be straightnin’ his tie!

Maybe in a house
All hidden by a hill,

Molly
She’s sittin’ playin’ piano

Tessie
He’s sittin’ payin’ a bill!

Annie
Betcha they’re young
Betcha they’re smart.

July
Bet they collect things

Duffy
Like ashtrays and art

Kate
Betcha they’re good.

Pepper
Why shouldn’t they be?

All orphans
They’re one mistake
Was givin’ up me!

Annie
So, maybe now it’s time,
And maybe when I wake

All orphans
They’ll be there callin’ me “Baby”…
Maybe.
Annie
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 it’s kind.
Won’t you please come get your “baby”…

All orphans
Maybe?







Hard-Knock Life

All orphans
It’s the hard-knock life for us!
It’s the hard-knock life for us!

Annie
Steada treated,

All orphans
We get tricked!

Annie
Steada kisses,

All orphans
We get kicked!
It’s the hard-knock life!
Got no folks to speak of so,
It’s the hard-knock row we hoe!

Annie
Cotton blankets

All orphans
Steada wool!

Annie
Empty bellies,

All orphans
Steada full!
It’s the hard-knock life!

Annie
Don’t it feel like the wind
Is always howlin’?

Kate, Tessie
Don’t it seem like there’s
Never any light?

Duffy, July
Once a day, don’t you wanna
Throw the towel in?

Molly, Pepper
It’s easier than puttin’ up a fight.

Annie
No one’s there when your dreams
At night get creepy!

Molly
No one cares if you grow
Or if you shrink!

Tessie
No one dries when your eyes
Get wet and weepy!

All orphans
From the cryin’ you would
Think this place’d sink!
Ohhhh!!

Empty-belly life!
Rotten, smelly life!
Full-of-sorrow life!
No-tomorrow life!

Molly
Santa Claus, we never see.

Pepper
Santa Claus, what’s that? Who’s he?

All Orphans
No one cares for you a smidge
When you’re in an orphanage!
It’s the hard-knock life!

Molly (spoken)
You’ll stay up till this dump shines like the top of the Chrysler Building!

All orphans except Molly
Yank the whiskers from her chin,
Jab her with a safety pin,
Make her drink a mickey finn.
I love you, Miss Hannigan!

Molly (spoken)
Get to work!
Strip them beds!
I said get to work!

All orphans except Molly
It’s the hard-knock life for us!

Molly
Merry Christmas.

All orphans except Molly
It’s the hard-knock life for us!

Molly
Merry Christmas.

All orphans except Molly
No one cares for you a smidge

Molly
Merry Christmas.

All orphans except Molly
When you’re in an orphanage!
It’s the hard-knock life,
It’s the hard-knock life,

It’s the hard-knock life! 




N.Y.C.

Warbucks, Grace
NYC-
The shimmer of Times Square,

Warbucks
The pulse

Grace
The beat

Warbucks, Grace
The drive!

Warbucks
NYC-
You might say that I’m square,
But wow!
I come
Alive.

All
The city’s bright
As a penny arcade
It blinks, it tilts, it rings.

Annie
To think that
I’ve lived here all of my life
And never seen these things!

All
NYC-
The whole world keeps coming.
By bus,
By train,
You can’t
Explain
Their yen
For…

Star-To-Be
NYC-
Just got here this morning:
Three bucks
Two bags
One me!

NYC-
I give you fair warning:
Up there
In lights
I’ll be!

All
Go ask the Gershwins
Or Kaufman and Hart
The place they love the best.
Though California
Pays big for their art,
Their fan mail comes addressed
To NYC
Tomorrow a penthouse!
That’s way
Up high…

Star-to-Be
Tonight?
The “Y”.
Why not?
It’s NYC.

All
NYC
You’re standing room only.
You crowd,
You cramp.
You’re still
The champ!
Amen
For NY-

Man
Keep it quiet down there!

All
-C!
(Spoken lines)

Warbucks
Give in.
Don’t fight.
Good girl.
Good night.
Sleep tight
In
NYC

Costume Ideas

Hi everyone!  I have started getting emails asking about where to start with costumes... Hopefully this will help some!  Orphans :  We are doing "muddy" colors (tan, brown, burgundy, navy, olive, etc.). Layers, patches, leggings...all of that is perfect! I am attaching some pictures to give you an idea. If they have brown or black boots, that works great! If not, they should be in black shoes or dance shoes! Email me with any questions! We are making some orphan dresses and costumes, and I have cute boot socks and patches. Just let me know what you need and we will work it out!  City People: These people will switch between servants (all black skirt, leggings, or shirt with aprons and headbands) and city people for one scene. We are making the aprons and can make the headbands as well. They will need black shirt and skirt/leggings. They will also need to be able to put on a coat or dress for NYC. That song will be brief, so we don't need an ...
