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
'Til there's none

When I'm stuck with a day that's grey and lonely
I just stick up my chin and grin and say, oh

The sun'll come out tomorrow
So you gotta hang on 'til tomorrow
Come what may

Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya, tomorrow
You're only a day away

Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya, tomorrow
You're only a day away

Aileen Quinn - It's the Hard-Knock Life

[ Featuring Toni Ann Gisondi ]

[ORPHANS]
It's the hard-knock life for us!
It's the hard-knock life for us!

[ANNIE]
'Steada treated,

[ORPHANS]
We get tricked!

[ANNIE]
'Steada kisses,

[ORPHANS]
We get kicked!

[ALL]
It's the hard-knock life!
Got no folks to speak of, so,
It's the hard-knock row we how!

[ANNIE]
Cotton blankets,

[ORPHANS]
'Steada of wool!

[ANNIE]
Empty Bellies

[ORPHANS]
'Steada of full!

[ALL]
It's the hard-knock life!

[ANNIE]
Don't if feel like the wind is always howl'n?

[KATE AND TESSIE]
Don't it seem like there's never any light!

[DUFFY AND JULY]
Once a day, don't you wanna throw the towel in?

[MOLLY AND PEPPER]
It's easier than puttin' up a fight.

[ANNIE]
No one's there when your dreams at night get creepy!
No one cares if you grow...of if you shrink!
No one dries when your eyes get wet an' weepy!

[ALL]
From all the cryin' you would think this place's a sink!
Ohhhh!!!!!!!
Empty belly life!
Rotten smelly life!
Full of sorrow life!
No tomorrow life!

[MOLLY]
Santa Claus we never see

[ANNIE]
Santa Claus, what's that?
Who's he?

[ALL]
No one cares for you a smidge
When you're in an orphanage!

[MOLLY]
(Making a whistling sound and imitating Miss. Hannigan)
You'll stay up till this dump shines
Like the top of the Chrysler Building.

[ORPHANS]
Yank the whiskers from her chin
Jab her with a safety Pin
Make her drink a mickey finn
I love you, Miss Hannigan

[MOLLY]
(whistle) Get to work!
(whistle) Strip them beds!
(whistle) I said get to work!

[ALL]
It's the hard-knock life for us
It's the hard-knock life for us
No one cares for you a smidge
When your in an orphanage
It's the hard-knock life
It's the hard-knock life
It's the hard-knock life!

Aileen Quinn - Maybe

[ANNIE]
Maybe far away
Or maybe real nearby
He may be pouring her coffee
She may be straighting his tie!
Maybe in a house
All hidden by a hill
She's sitting playing piano,
He's sitting paying 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 it's kind...
Won't you please come get your "Baby"

[ANNIE AND ORPHANS]
Maybe

Aileen Quinn - Dumb Dog

[ANNIE]
Dumb dog
Why are you following me?
I ain't got a crumb, dog
How about letting me be?
I ain't gonna feed you
Ain't got a scrap for you
Need you?
Don't give a rap for you
Dumb dog
Dumber than they come dog
You're the most presuming dog
That a human could know

Aileen Quinn - Sandy

[ Featuring The Orphans ]

[Orphans]
He smells
What's his name, Annie?

[Annie]
Guess

[Orphan]
Uh, Fifi?
That ain't a name for this mutt
So how about Champion?
Champion, you're anything but
We could call him Tiger
But there's no bite in him
Tiger, kittens would frighten him
Rover, when you think it over
Rover is the perfect name for this dumb looking dog

[Annie]
Sandy, Sandy's his name if you please
If you don't believe me, ask anyone of the fleas
Residing on Sandy, true he ain't pedigreed
Sandy, there ain't no better breed

And he really comes in handy
'Specially when you're all alone in the night
And you're small and terribly frightened
It's Sandy, Sandy who'll always be there

Aileen Quinn - I Think I'm Gonna Like It Here

[ Featuring Ann Reinking ]

Cecile will pick out all your clothes

Your bath is drawn by Mrs. Greer

Soap? No, bubbles, I think

The swimming pool is down the stairs

[Annie, spoken]
Inside the house? Oh boy!

[Grace]
The tennis court is in the rear

No finger will you lift my dear

[All]
We have but one request
Please put us to the test

[Annie]
I know I'm gonna like it here
Used to room in a tomb
There I'd sit and freeze
Get me now, holy cow
Could someone pinch me please!

[Grace]
We've never had a little girl

[All]
We've never had a little girl
We've never had a little girl

[Annie]
I'm very, very, very glad to volunteer

[Grace]
I'm glad she's glad to volunteer

[Grace & All]
We hope you understand
Your wish is our command

Carol Burnett - Little Girls

Little girls, little girls
Everywhere I turn I can see them
Little girls, little girls
Night and day I eat, sleep and breathe them

I'm an ordinary woman with feelings
I'd like a man to nibble on my ear
But I'll admit no man has bit
So how come I'm the mother of the year?

Little cheeks, little teeth
Everything around me is little
If I wring little necks
Surely I will get an acquittal

Some women are dripping with diamonds
Some women are dripping with pearls
Lucky me, lucky me
Look at what I'm dripping with little girls

How I hate little shoes, little socks
And each little bloomer
I'd have cracked years ago
If it weren't for my sense of humor

Some day I'll step on their freckles
Some night I'll straighten their curls
Send a flood, send the flu
Anything that you can do to little girls

Some day I'll land in the nut house
With all the nuts and the squirrels
There I'll stay tucked away
Until the prohibition of little girls

Aileen Quinn - Let's Go To The Movies

[ Featuring Ann Reinking, Albert Finney ]

Grace: Cowboy heroes,
Cops and robbers,
Glamour and strife,
Bigger than life!
Sitting in the darkness,
What a world to see!
Let's go to the movies,
Annie, wait and see.

Betty Davis is probably lying,
And Greta Garbo is probably crying,
While Robert Taylor
Is locked in her dying embrace.
Chico and Groucho
And Chaplin and Lloyd
Are all super.
Sweet Mickey Mouse,
Shirley Temple,
And dear Jackie Cooper.

Annie: Let's go to the movies..

Both: Let's go see the stars

Grace: Fred and Ginger
Spinning madly....
(instrumental break)
Anything you
Can imagine...
Songs and romance.
Life is the dance.
Sitting in the darkness,
Popcorn on your knee!
Give the maid the night off!

Warbucks: Turn the kitchen light off!

Grace and Warbucks: Let's go to the movies,
Annie, you and me!

Ushers: Welcome to the movies!
Welcome to the stars!
Welcome to this
Grand illusion.
All of it's yours
Right through these doors!
Every plot's a dilly,
This we guarantee!
Welcome to the movies
Wait and see.

Female chorus: Let's go to the movies (see the movies)
Let's go see the stars.
Red lights holler
Deep Depression
What do we care?
Movies are there!
Only happy endings (boy gets girl, yes)
That's our recipe!
Welcome to a lovely
M-O-V-I-E!

Male chorus: Let's go to the movies

Female chorus (same time as guys): We love to go
To RKO
Columbia
Universal

Male chorus: Let's go see the stars

Female chorus (simultaneously): Jack Warner and
Fred Goldwyn and
MGM and Paramount

Both: Dreams of glory,
Cast of thousands,
Bigger than life.
Bigger than life!
Only happy endings
That's our recipe
So, welcome
To the movies
Wait...
And...
See!

Peter Marshall, Orphans and Cast - You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile

[ Featuring Orphans, Cast ]

Hey, hobo man, hey, Dapper Dan
You've both got your style
But brother you're never fully dressed
Without a smile

Your clothes may be beau brummelly
They stand out a mile
But brother you're never fully dressed
Without a smile

Who cares what they're wearing
On main street or Seville row
It's what you wear from ear to ear
And not from head to toe that matters

Hey, hobo man, hey, Dapper Dan
You've both got your style
But brother you're never fully dressed
Without a smile

Your clothes may be beau brummelly

But brother you're never fully dressed

Who cares what they're wearing
On main street or Seville row
It's what you wear from ear to ear
And not from head to toe that matters
The lovely Boylan sisters

So, Senator, so, Janitor
So long for a while
Remember you're never fully dressed
Without a smile
You're never fully dressed
Without a smile

Who cares what they're wearing
On main street or Seville row
It's what you wear from ear to ear
And not from head to toe that matters

So, Senator, so, Janitor
So long for a while
Remember you're never fully dressed
Though you may wear the best
You're never fully dressed without a

Smile, you're never fully dressed
You're never fully dressed
You're never fully dressed
You're never fully dressed without a

And if tomorrow, I'm an apple seller, too
I don't need anything, anything, anything
I don't need anything but

She's like the fizz in a Coke, a buck when you're broke and more
When woes and worries take hold, who gives them the old trap door?
I do not mind repeating
We got Annie
That fourth of July kid
We got Annie
I wish she were my kid
We've got Annie and she's got it all
I love you, daddy Warbucks
Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you, tomorrow

Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you, tomorrow
