One night Farmer Brown was taken 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, stop that fuss, ain't nobody here but us We're chickens trying 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, shakin' the ground, kickin' up an aweful dust We're chickens trying to sleep and you butt in And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble, it's a sin (Bridge) Tomorrow is a busy day, we've got things to do, we've got eggs to lay We got ground to dig and worms to scratch Takes a lot of sittin' gettin' chicks to hatch There ain't nobody here but us chickens, there ain't nobody here at all So quiet yourself, stop that fuss, ain't nobody here but us Kindly point that gun the other way And hobble, hobble, hobble off and hit the hay (Repeat Bridge) It's easy pickin', ain't nobody here but us chickens
