Song Lyrics

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
