Aint Nobody Here but Us Chickens Songtext
von Louis Jordan

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 sing

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 of 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 of and
Hit the hay

SHOUTED:
"Hey boss man
What do ya say?"

It's easy pickens,
Ain′t nobody here but us chickens
