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
(Bridge)
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
