Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens

Okay folks here's a little story just for you

Now one night Farmer Brown was takin' the air

He locked up the farmyard with the greatest of care

But down in the hen-house something stirred

And 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 quiet 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 it's a sin

Now Farmer Brown lit his corn cobbed pipe

He looked down at his trusty dog

And he said, "Hey I'd the chickens said they alright they are alright

Let's head back to the shack Jack"

But the dog wasn't convinced, he said, "Go back to the hen house"

Gave a little doggy knock and in his best chickenese said

"Is everything alright?"

I said there ain't nobody here but us chickens

There ain't nobody here at all

You're stompin' around and checkin' around

And kickin' up an awful fuss

We chickens tryin' to sleep, and you butt in

And hobble hobble hobble hobble it's a sin

"Okay, okay, okay", said the dog and he turned to leave

Just then a very unchicken like sneeze came

From the hen house, "Achoo"

Farmer Brown cocked his gun, he says, "I'm a comin' in

You better open that door just a teeny weeny

Bit so I can take a peek"

No, tomorrow is a busy day

We got things to do, we got eggs to lay

Ground to dig, we've got worms to scratch

You know it takes a lot of sittin' gettin' chicks to hatch

Besides there ain't nobody here but us chickens

There ain't nobody here at all

So stop that fuss and raisin' dust

Hey there ain't nobody here but us

So kindly point that gun the other way

And hobble hobble hobble off and hit the hay

Okay, I guess you're right, I'm off to sleep

Goodnight

Hey Boss man, what d'ya think?

Easy pickin's, ain't nobody here but us chickens
