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

Jab her with a safety pin

'Steada treated,

we get tricked

Send her to the loony bin

'Steada kisses,

we get kicked

Oh, I'm so sorry!

- Toss me the broom!

- Incoming.

Plastic!

Paper! Can!

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 loony bin

When you're a foster kid!

It's the hard-knock life

I said no singing and dancing!

It's the hard-knock life

The inspector's here.

Here, read a book.

Braid her hair.

Blow on this.

Put this together.

It's a kitty cat.

- What should I do?

- Pray.

I've tried.

It hasn't worked yet.

Okay. Showtime! You guys

act well cared-for.

We love you, Miss Hannigan!

Take it down a thousand.

Nobody's gonna believe that.

Get under here.

Well, hello there.

Are you Colleen Hannigan?

My maiden name. But I'm not married

to it, if you know what I mean.

- No.

- Come on in. The girls are just recreating.

Uh, should we start

here in the bathroom?

Why, Mr. Inspector,

how forward you are.

But I'm right behind you.

- What?

- What?

- No, I'm asking you.

- This way.

Wait, what?

Oh, your arms are so strong!

The dude dropped this.

This has all of our information.

Really?

You're kidding.

Damn. I've been

in a lot of homes.

This says I've been in millions.

That's your Social

Security number, dummy.

What's a scoso curcurity murder?

It's what the government

uses to keep track of us.

Wait. This is what I

need to get my records.

And find my parents.

I'll copy it down.

Plan your exit.

Okay.

You know, people come

for the bathroom,

but they stay for the bedroom.

- What?

- You know it.

Can I go to

the library to study?

Can we talk about this after

the handsome inspector with

no wedding ring is gone?

Okay.

Can I have some floss?

I think I have some nutritious

breakfast stuck in my teeth.

What?

Pretty sure I saw some

in the medicine cabinet.

Oh, right there?

You know, I just remembered.

We're out of floss.

Maybe you wanna pick some up

on your way to the library.

Thank you, Miss Hannigan.

Bye, Mr. Inspector.

Bye, now.

Seems like a great kid.

Yeah, she seems great.

Oh-oh, I know that run.

How much you need, mija?

$43.55.

- By when?

- Now?

Go rob Bank of America.

Here, I'll loan you my mask.

I'll work for it.

Please, Lou.

That face.

Take the expired drinks from the cooler.

Go ahead.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Whoa, what are you doing, girl?

This ain't no Whole Foods.

Don't throw them out.

Change the date.

I believe in hard work.

I don't just

settle for "okay."

"Great" is all I know.

I built my company to

be a worldwide leader.

And that's what I wanna do with the city.

I wanna make it great again.

You're 20 points

down in the polls.

You've got billions to spend

and it's not working.

How are you gonna

change people's minds?

Everybody wants to

count my money, huh?

4.3 billion.

You know, I have feelings.

And I feel for people

that are out there...

- Baba Booey! Baba Booey!

- Yes. See.

That's probably one of my

satisfied customers right there.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

This is terrible.

Do you really think a

businessman can run the city?

At Stacks Mobile, I made a cell

network that never drops a call.

As mayor,

I'm gonna make a government

that never drops a citizen.

Yeah, as long as those citizens

live below 96th Street.

You're lucky you can't vote yet, mija.

Politicians are all liars.

What dates should

I change these to?

One week for the milk.

Two weeks for the juice.

You need to smile more.

You only smiled four times.

Is that right?

Really?

Voters respond 23% more

favorably to full-teeth smiles.

Yeah. How about

thumbs up, huh?

Uh, Sixteen percent better

if you give them a single.

Thirty-eight percent if you

shoot them the double.

Why do I get the feeling like

I'm wasting my time here?

Am I gonna win, or not?

'Cause this seems

like a waste of time.

You hired me to win.

You're gonna win.

- Put this on.

- Why? I'm already dressed.

- How you doing?

- Here.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

I gotta feed the hobos?

Don't say "hobos."

Say "bums."

For some crazy reason,

everybody thinks

you're a rich elitist that can't

relate to regular people.

Oh, so the girl from Oxford is trying

to tell me how to keep it real.

I'm telling you if you

want a chance at this,

you're gonna have to remember

where you came from.

Okay, Gatsby?

Compliment them on the

food, but not too much.

- Oh, I ain't eating this food.

- You're gonna eat the food.

And you're gonna like it, but

you're not gonna love it, okay?

We don't want to seem

like we're pandering.

I don't eat hobo food.

All right. That's good.

How we doing, folks?

Starving?

How do you sleep at night?

Silk sheets and Ambien.

Look at all

these handsome faces!

There you go.

All right.

And here we go.

God bless.

Bet you never had mashed

potatoes, Mr. Stacks.

Are you kidding me?

Why, my grandmother made some of

the best

mashed potatoes in Queens.

You know, that's where I'm from.

Born and raised.

On the playground's where

I spent most of my days.

And look at this.

It's not amazing, but it ain't terrible.

Look at this, huh?

Mmm-mmm!

Went down the wrong pipe.

This is disgusting.

Look, it's terrible.

Oh, God.

You're a child.

Well, how do you

guys think that went?

Nash, you saw it. Would you vote

for me if you didn't work for me?

No, sir.

Thank you for your honesty.

You're fired.

That didn't take long.

And there are already parodies.

Mashed potatoes

Mashed potatoes...

Mashed potatoes, mashed

potatoes in Queens

- See, this is why China's winning.

- Not really.

Maybe this is

a blessing in disguise.

Just because you can run for mayor,

doesn't mean that you should.

We already discussed

this is great for my profile.

It's going to grow the company.
