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
