One night farmer brown was taken the air |
|
Locked up the barnyard with the greatest of care |
|
Down in the henhouse 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, stop that fuss, ain't nobody here but us |
|
We're chickens trying 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, shakin' the ground, kickin' up an aweful dust |
|
We're chickens trying to sleep and you butt in |
|
And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble, it's a sin |
|

|
Tomorrow is a busy day, we've got things to do, we've got eggs to lay |
|
We got ground to dig and worms to scratch |
|
Takes a lot of sittin' gettin' chicks to hatch |
|
There ain't nobody here but us chickens, there ain't nobody here at all |
|
So quiet yourself, stop that fuss, ain't nobody here but us |
|
Kindly point that gun the other way |
|
And hobble, hobble, hobble off and hit the hay |
|
(repeat bridge) |
|
It's easy pickin', ain't nobody here but us chickens |
