Louis Jordan 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 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
And stop your 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 your fuss
There ain't nobody here but us
Kindly point that 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 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 your fuss
There ain't nobody here but us
Kindly point that gun
The other way
And hobble, hobble hobble off and
Hit the hay

"Hey boss man
What do ya say?"
It's easy pickins
Ain't nobody here but us chickens
