Quvenzhané Wallis, Zoe Margaret Colletti, Nicolette Pierini, Eden Duncan-Smith and Amanda Troya - Maybe


Maybe far away
Or maybe real nearby
He may be pouring her coffee
She may be straighting this 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"

Maybe

Quvenzhané Wallis, Zoe Margaret Colletti, Nicolette Pierini, Eden Duncan-Smith and Amanda Troya - It's the Hard-Knock Life


It's the hard-knock life for us
It's the hard-knock life for us
'Stead of treated
We get tricked
'Stead of kisses
We get kicked
It's the hard-knock life

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

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)
'Stead of treated
We get tricked (send her to the looney bin)
'Stead of kisses
We get kicked

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 looney bin)
When you're a foster kid
It's the hard-knock life

It's the hard-knock life

Quvenzhané Wallis - Tomorrow

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 gray,
And lonely,
I just stick out my chin
And grin,
And say,
Oh!

The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
So ya gotta hang on
'Til tomorrow
Come what may
Tomorrow! Tomorrow!
I love ya Tomorrow!
You're always
A day away!

When I'm stuck with a day
That's gray,
And lonely,
I just stick out my chin
And Grin,
And Say,
Oh!

The sun'll come out

So ya gotta hang on
'Til tomorrow

Quvenzhané Wallis - I Think I'm Gonna Like It Here


I think I'm gonna like it here

I think I'm gonna like it
I'm sure I'm gonna like it
I think I'm gonna like it here

So, think it and it shall appear
I think I'm gonna like it here
Because it knows just what you wanna see
Wait, I think it and it comes to me?

Here's something grand for you to play
Wait, I couldn't do that yesterday
I think I'm gonna like it here
It's very hard not to my dear

Yes, yes, I think I'm gonna like it here
Yes, yes, I think I'm gonna like it here
Think I'm gonna like it here
I think I'm gonna like it here
Yes, yes, I think I'm gonna like it here
Yes, yes, I think I'm gonna like it here
Think I'm gonna like it here

Look! It knows the temp your comfy in
That's great! Can it teach me to swim?
We'll get a coach, no need to fear
I think I'm gonna like it here

There's a big apple for you to eat
I'd have been full with just a seed
There's a whole new world in that mirror
I think I'm gonna like it here

Yes, yes, I think I'm gonna like it here
Yes, yes, I think I'm gonna like it here
Think I'm gonna like it here
I think I'm gonna like it here
Yes, yes, I think I'm gonna like it here
Yes, yes, I think I'm gonna like it here
Think I'm gonna like it here

Everything you've ever dreamed is at your fingertips
And if you haven't dreamed it yet, add it to your wishlist
Is this Mr. Stacks' room
No, Annie, this it your room
Sweet lord

I think I'm gonna like it
I know I'm gonna like it
I know you're gonna like it
Damn right you're gonna like it
I think I'm gonna like it here!

Yes, yes, I think I'm gonna like it here
Yes, yes, I think I'm gonna like it here
Think I'm gonna like it here
I think I'm gonna like it here
Yes, yes, I think I'm gonna like it here
Yes, yes, I think I'm gonna like it here
Think I'm gonna like it here

Yes, yes!

Sia - Youre Never Fully Dressed Without A Smile

Hey, America
Let's turn it up
Yeah, check out our style
'Cause you know you're never fully dressed without a smile

Your clothes may be Chanel, Gucci
Your shoes crocodile
But, baby, you're never fully dressed without a smile

And if you stand for nothing you'll fall for it all
We got all we need, got love and more
You're never fully dressed without a smile
And if you stand for somethin' you can have it all
'Cause if it's real you'll open every door
You're never fully dressed without a smile
You're never fully dressed without a smile
You're never fully dressed without a smile

Ready or not
Give all we've got
Yeah you can't deny
That, baby, you're never fully dressed without a smile
Don't sink the boat
When you lose hope
I keep you alive
But, baby, you're never fully dressed without a s-

And if you stand for nothing you'll fall for it all
We got all we need, got love and more
You're never fully dressed without a smile
And if you stand for somethin' you can have it all
'Cause if it's real you'll open every door
You're never fully dressed without a smile
You're never fully dressed without a smile
You're never fully dressed without a smile

Now look at us
We pick it up
We set it on fire
'Cause you know you're never fully dressed without a smile
We show it out
We're playing now
We're living the life
But, baby, you're never fully dressed without a s-

And if you stand for nothing you'll fall for it all
We got all we need, got love and more
You're never fully dressed without a smile
And if you stand for somethin' you can have it all
'Cause if it's real you'll open every door
You're never fully dressed without a smile
You're never fully dressed without a smile
You're never fully dressed without a smile

You're never fully dressed without a smile

Sia - Moonquake Lake

[ Featuring Beck ]

She's a fish and he's a boy
Moonquake moonquake
I want to take a swim in Lake Moon
Now I am awake always
Since I dove into your blue
Moonquake moonquake
I want to take a swim in Lake Moon
Now I am awake always
Since I dove into your blue

She came from the Moon ready to fight
With scales and a tail and a fishy bite
Ready to destroy all of humankind
Fierce and fighting with a brook trout mind

He was born in an airship above the earth
Strong in legend, my soul's in mirth
Son of a mime and a performer
With just a smile for a sweet

They were never meant to meet (put faith in listen)
They were never meant to be (oh it never does)
They were never meant to see (oh but fate didn't listen)
They were never (didn't listen)
She's a fish, he's a boy

Moonquake moonquake
I want to take a swim in Lake Moon
Now I am awake always
Since I dove into your blue
Moonquake moonquake
I want to catch you in my net
Now I am awake always
Like the day when I found it

And then one solstice at a fishing hole
He was unsure casting his bowl
She swam right up to him and took the bait
He reeled her in and made it a date

When your worlds are worn, you look inside
Fight the power, stop the divide
Four eyes, two gills, one human nose
Wrap your eyes around me in the river floes

Moonquake moonquake
I want to take a swim in Lake Moon
Now I am awake always
Since I dove into your blue
Moonquake moonquake
I want to catch you in my net
Now I am awake always
Like a day when I found it

Moonquake
Moonquake
Moonquake
Moonquake
Moonquake
Moonquake

Cameron Diaz - Little Girls

Little girls little girls
Everywhere I turn I can see them
(Ugh!)
Little girls, little girls
Night and day I eat, sleep and breathe them
(Get out of here!)
I should be anywhere but here
Private planes, on a stage or on TV
But I find myself here at the snot house
Little shoes, little socks
Please kill me!
I'm serious, please kill me
I'm not singing, I'm asking

Locked in a cage with all the rats
I've slipped through the cracks and now I'm
Stuck with the scraps and I can't seem to find my way back
Get me out, get me out of here
(Oh get her out!)
I'm ready for stardom after all these years
I'm done!
With little girls
I wanna be someone
In this world

Little girls, little girls
Everywhere I turn I can see them
(Ugh!)
Little girls, little girls
Night and day I eat, sleep and breathe them
(Get out of here!)

Yes, I wanna tear my hair out
I should be famous, a part of history
But I find myself here at the snot house
Little shoes, little socks
Please kill me!
I'm serious please kill me
I'm not singing I'm asking

Locked in a cage with all the rats
I've slipped through the cracks and now I'm
Stuck with the scraps and I can't seem to find my way back
Get me out, get me out of here
(Oh throw me a rope)
I'm ready for stardom after all these years
I'm done!
With little girls
I wanna be someone
In this world
Little girls, little girls
(hee hee hee hee hee)
(Ugh!)

Jamie Foxx - The Citys Yours

[ Featuring Quvenzhané Wallis ]

This is just the start of your story
If you got guts you get glory
Anyone can make it even you
In New York City

And now's the time you gotta stand tough
Cause if you work hard you can rise up
Anyone can make it even you
In New York City

Look at me I'm just blood pumpin
you and me are two hearts thumpin
We are two souls giving the same feed

So take it all, the city's yours, it's worth fighting for, it's all yours
So take it all, the city's yours, it's worth fighting for, it's all mine, it's all yours
In New York City
In New York City
In New York City

So put your gloves on start trainin
You gotta get wet when it's rainin
If you got heart you can make it too
In New York City

You see what I see look harder
You know we're the same when we start off
Four walks two heads one heart paired

So take it all, the city's yours, ask it for more, when you arrange a tour
So take it all, the city's yours, it's worth fighting for, it's all mine, it's all yours
In New York City
In New York City

So take it all
So take it all,
the city's yours,
the city's mine,
it's worth fighting for
it's worth fighting for,
it's all mine
it's all mine

So take it all
So take it all,
the city's yours,
the city's mine,
it's worth fighting for
it's worth fighting for,
it's all mine
it's all mine,
it's all yours

Quvenzhané Wallis - Opportunity

Under the glow of the very bright lights
I turn my face towards the warm night skies
And I am not afraid of a thousand eyes
When they're above five hundred smiles
Oh I used to think What wouldn't I give
For a moment like, this This moment, this gift!
Now look at me and this opportunity
It's standing right in front of me
But one thing I know
It's only part luck and so
I'm putting on my best show
Under the spotlight
I'm starting my life
Big dreams becoming real tonight
So look at me and this opportunity
You're witnessing my moment, you see?

Now I find myself here, and it's time
Yes this is real, and it's a gold-mine
I'm not afraid to fly
When it's above five hundred smiles

Oh I used to think
What wouldn't I give
For a moment like this?
This moment, this gift
Oh, now look at me
And this opportunity
Is standing right in front of me
But one thing I know

Cameron Diaz - Easy Street

[ Featuring Bobby Cannavale ]

You know I'm tired of being the black hat
Of running the show down in the snake pit
So this is our chance to get out of this place
So come on let's run for it to

Easy Street, Easy Street
Where you'll sleep till noon
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Running free, oh, Easy Street
We're gonna be there soon

Yeah, I'll be the girl who's drippin' in jewellery
The crowds will go wild when I sing
I won't have to look out on a fire escape
The view will be billboards of me

Easy Street, Easy Street
Where we all get paid
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Move them feet to

Jamie Foxx - Who Am I?


Who am I, what have I become?
Do I stand for something, or for money?
Who am I, where's my good girl gone?
You know I had a good heart once, you see.

Who am I, now that my armor's gone?
You gave me what I didn't know I needed.
Who am I, now that my heart is won?
I didn't know I needed anyone.

But I've got today, I've got to make,
The best I can of it.
'Cause yesterday is dead and gone,
And me along with it.

I want to start again, so I look within
Remember what I wanted
'Cause I don't know who I've become
But I will trust in it, Yeah I will trust in it.

Who am I? I spent my life alone
Forever looking for some place to call home.
Who am I? About to meet myself
This should feel right, but something don't.

I want to start again, so I look within
Remember what I wanted
'Cause I don't know who I've become
But I will trust in it. I will trust in it
Oh I will trust in it. Oh I will trust in it

But today, I've got to make,
The best I can of it.
'Cause yesterday is dead and gone
And me along with it
I want to start again

Jamie Foxx - I Dont Need Anything But You


[WARBUCKS AND ANNIE]
Together at last!
Together for ever!
We're tying a knot,
They never can sever!

[WARBUCKS]
I don't need sunshine now,
To turn my skies at blue

[WARBUCKS AND ANNIE]
I don't need anything but you!

[WARBUCKS]
You've wrapped me around
That cute little finger.
You've made life a song
You've made me the singer!

[ANNIE]
And what's the bathtub tune
You always "Bu-Bu-Boo?"

[WARBUCKS]
Bu-Bu-Bu
Anything but you

Yesterday was plain awful

[WARBUCKS]
You can say that again

[ANNIE]
Yesterday was plain awful

[WARBUCKS]
But that's

Not now

[WARBUCKS AND ANNIE]
That's then

[ANNIE]
I'm poor as a mouse,

[WARBUCKS]
I'm richer than Midas.

[WARBUCKS AND ANNIE]
But nothing on earth
Could ever divide us!
And if tomorrow, I
'm an apple seller, too
I don't need anything but you!

[SERVANTS]
Annie Annie Annie
Everything's humming now
Annie Annie
Good times are coming now
Since you came our way
It's Christmas,
Christmas everyday
We dismiss
Bad times, sad times
Now they're all yesterday news
Since Annie
Kicked out
The blues

Annie Annie Annie
Look what you've done for us
Annie Annie Annie
Turned on the sun for us

[GRACE]
Have they sent the cheese?

[DRAKE]
Yes and ice camemberts and bries

[GRACE
Judge Brandeis

[ALL]
Annie Annie
You filled our life with a song

They're two of a kind
The happiest pair now
Like Fred and Adelle, they're floating
On air now
And what's the title of the dream

[WARBUCKS]
I don't need anything

[ANNIE]
Anything

[ALL]
Anything
I don't need anything
But you

Back to: Annie


Annie is a 2014 American musical comedy drama film directed by Will Gluck, from a screenplay he co-wrote with Aline Brosh McKenna. Produced by Columbia Pictures in association with Village Roadshow Pictures, Overbrook Entertainment, Marcy Media Films, and Olive Bridge Entertainment, and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing, it is a contemporary film adaptation of Charles Strouse, Martin Charnin, and Thomas Meehan's 1977 Broadway musical of the same name (which in turn is based on the comic strip Little Orphan Annie by Harold Gray). The film shifts the setting from the Great Depression to the present day and is the second remake and the third film adaptation of the musical, following the 1982 theatrical film starring Carol Burnett and Albert Finney, and the 1999 television film starring Kathy Bates and Victor Garber. The revival film stars Quvenzhané Wallis in the title role, alongside Jamie Foxx, Rose Byrne, Bobby Cannavale and Cameron Diaz. Annie began production in August 2013 and, following it's premiere at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York City on December 7, 2014, it was released theatrically in the United States on December 19, 2014.

The film received generally negative reviews; the Rotten Tomatoes consensus states that it "smothers its likable cast under clichés, cloying cuteness, and a distasteful materialism". It grossed $136 million against a budget of $65-78 million. Annie received two Golden Globe Award nominations in the categories of Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical (for Wallis) and Best Original Song.

Conversely, the film received two Golden Raspberry nominations and won in the category of Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-off or Sequel while Diaz was nominated for the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Supporting Actress. It was followed by a fourth adaptation of the musical that was a live NBC production.
Genre(s): Soundtrack, Musical
Released: November 17th, 2014
