lyrics

One night Farmer Brown was taking the air
Locked up the barn with the greatest of care
Down in the henhouse somethin’ stirred
When he hollered “who’s there?”
This is what he heard

There ain’t nobody here but us chickens
Ain’t nobody here at all
So watch yourself, stop all that fuss,
there ain’t nobody here but us
You kindly point that gun the other way
And hobble, hobble hobble till ya hit the hay

There ain’t nobody here but us chickens
Ain’t nobody here at all
You stomping around, shaking the ground,
kicking up an awful dust
We chicken’s trying to sleep and you popped in
And hobble, hobble hobble with your chin

Well Tomorrow is a busy day
We’ve got things to do
We got eggs to lay
Ground to dig and worms to stratch
It takes a lot of sittin’ getting chicks to hatch

Cause there’ ain’t nobody here but us chickens
Nobody at all
So watch yourself, stop all that fuss,
there ain’t nobody here but us
You gotta point that gun the other way
And hobble, hobble hobble till ya hit the hay

There ain’t nobody here but us roosters!

Well Tomorrow is a busy day
We’ve got things to do
We got eggs to lay
Ground to dig and worms to stratch
It takes a lot of sittin’ getting chicks to hatch
And there’ ain’t nobody here but us chickens
Ain’t nobody at all
So watch yourself, stop all that fuss,
there ain’t nobody here but us
You gotta point that gun the other way
And holla holla holla till the break of day

Hey bossman, now what do ya say?
It’s easy pickins!
There ain’t nobody here but us chickens
Whoa yeah!
