Annie Page #2

Synopsis: Annie is a young, happy foster kid who's also tough enough to make her way on the streets of New York in 2014. Originally left by her parents as a baby with the promise that they'd be back for her someday, it's been a hard knock life ever since with her mean foster mom Miss Hannigan. But everything's about to change when the hard-nosed tycoon and New York mayoral candidate Will Stacks - advised by his brilliant VP, Grace and his shrewd and scheming campaign advisor, Guy - makes a thinly-veiled campaign move and takes her in. Stacks believes he's her guardian angel, but Annie's self-assured nature and bright, sun-will-come-out-tomorrow outlook on life just might mean it's the other way around.

Was giving up me!

So maybe now it's time

And maybe when I wake

They'll be there

calling me "baby"

Shh!

Maybe

Betcha he reads

Betcha he reads...

Betcha she sews

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

Maybe now this prayer...

The last one of its kind

Won't you please

come get your "Baby"

Won't you please

come get your "Baby"

Maybe

Wake up!

Wake up, rats.

Get out of bed!

It's so early.

And it's Saturday.

Thanks for the time and date. Now,

over to Stormy for the weather.

It's raining!

The city called.

They're coming to inspect.

You gotta go and clean

this whole place up!

Aren't they supposed to give

a couple days' notice?

Aren't I supposed to be

married to George Clooney?

Get out of bed

and start cleaning!

Who's George Clooney?

Exactly, girlfriend.

Exactly.

No breakfast until

this place is spotless!

I hate her so much.

And if you find any loose change

over a nickel, it's mine.

I was having the best dream.

I was ice-skating

on real, live ice.

Save your dreams for good stuff.

Like shopping with

an unlimited credit card.

Or swimming in candy.

Or flying to the moon

in a rocket ship.

All things that

will never happen.

Now, clean like your life depends on it.

'Cause it does!

It's the hard-knock life.

It's the hard-knock life.

It's the hard-knock life.

It's the hard-knock life.

Wait. What does

"hard-knock life" mean?

It means our life sucks.

Oh. Then, yeah.

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

Less singing and more cleaning!

And make sure

my bathroom shines!

But don't touch

my medicine cabinet!

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

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

puttin' up a fight

No one's there when your

dreams at night get creepy!

No one cares if you

grow or if you shrink!

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 bit

When you're a foster kid!

It's the hard-knock life!

"Make my bathroom shine! But don't

touch my medicine cabinet!"

Good one, Mia.

It's the hard-knock

life for us

Yank the whiskers

from her chin

It's the hard-knock

life for us
