Lyrics
One night farmer Brown was takin' the air 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 chickens 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 Ohh, 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 off and hit the hay [Instrumental Break] 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 off and hit the hay Hey, hey, boss man, what do ya say? It's easy pickins' Ain't nobody here but us chickens
