Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens
One night farmer Brown was taking the air
Locked up the barnyard with the greatest of care
Down in the henhouse something stirred
When he shouted: Who's there?
This is what he heard
There ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
So calm yourself and stop that fuss
There ain't nobody here but us
We chickens tryin' to sleep and you butt in
And hobble, hobble, hobble with your chin
There ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
You're stompin' around here shakin' the ground
And kicking up an awful dust
We chickens tryin' to sleep and you butt in
And hobble, hobble, hobble, it's a sin
Tomorrow is a busy day
We got things to do, we got eggs to lay
We got ground to dig and worms to scratch
It takes a lot of sittin', gettin' chicks to hatch
And hobble, hobble, hobble with your chin
And there ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
So quiet yourself and stop that fuss
There ain't nobody here but us
Kindly point the gun the other way
And hobble, hobble, hobble off and hit the hay
Tomorrow is a busy day
We got things to do, we got eggs to lay
We got ground to dig and worms to scratch
It takes a lot of sittin', gettin' chicks to hatch
And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble, with your chin
And there ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
So quiet yourself and stop that fuss
There ain't nobody here but us
Kindly point the gun the other way
And hobble, hobble, hobble off and hit the hay
Hey, hey boss man, what do you say?
It's easy, pickin's
There ain't nobody here but us chickens
