Louis Jordan - Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens lyrics

rate me

One night farmer Brown was takin’ 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 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

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 chickens 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.

Oh, 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. 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 that fuss. There ain’t nobody here but us. And

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 pickens, ain’t nobody here but

us chickens.”
