Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens

Lyrics

One night farmer Brown was takin' the airs
 Locked up the barnyard with the greatest of care
 Down in the hen house, somethin' 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 hobble with your chin"
 "There ain't nobody here but us chickens
 There ain't nobody here at all
 You're stompin' around and shakin' the ground
 You're kickin' up an awful dust
 We chicken's tryin' to sleep and you butt in
 And hobble, 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 settin', gettin' chicks to hatch"
 "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 that gun the other way
 And hobble, hobble hobble of and hit the hay"
 "Hey, 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 settin', gettin' chicks to hatch"
 "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
 And kindly point that gun the other way
 And hobble, hobble hobble of and hit the hay"
 "Hey, hey, boss man, what do ya say?
 It's easy pickings
 Ain't nobody here but us chickens"
