Ain't Nobody Here but Us Chickens - Live
Here's a little tune that's dedicated to man's best friend
The chicken, that's right
No argument from this crowd
There ain't nobody here but us chickens
One night farmer Brown was taking the air
Locked up the barnyard with the greatest of care
Into the henhouse something stirred
When he hollered "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, stop all that fuss
There ain't nobody here but us"
Kindly point that gun, the other way
And hobble, hobble, hobble 'til the break of day
'Cause there ain't nobody here but us chickens
Sure ain't nobody at all
An' you stompin' around, and a-shakin' the ground
Well, you're kickin' up an awful dust
We chickens tryin' to sleep and you butt in
And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble, with your chin
'Cause 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 sittin', gettin' chicks to hatch
There ain't nobody here but us chickens, honey
Nobody at all
So quiet yourself, enough of that fuss
There ain't nobody here but us
Kindly point that gun the other way
And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble 'til the break of day
Play the horn there
Saxophone
Well 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 sittin', gettin' chicks to
Ain't nobody here but us roosters, honey
So quiet yourself, enough of that fuss
There ain't nobody here, nobody but us
Kindly point that gun the other way
And hobble, hobble, hobble 'til the break of day
"Hey, hey boss man, now what do you say?"
"It's easy pickings
There ain't nobody here but us chickens"
Oh yeah
The chicken, that's right
No argument from this crowd
There ain't nobody here but us chickens
One night farmer Brown was taking the air
Locked up the barnyard with the greatest of care
Into the henhouse something stirred
When he hollered "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, stop all that fuss
There ain't nobody here but us"
Kindly point that gun, the other way
And hobble, hobble, hobble 'til the break of day
'Cause there ain't nobody here but us chickens
Sure ain't nobody at all
An' you stompin' around, and a-shakin' the ground
Well, you're kickin' up an awful dust
We chickens tryin' to sleep and you butt in
And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble, with your chin
'Cause 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 sittin', gettin' chicks to hatch
There ain't nobody here but us chickens, honey
Nobody at all
So quiet yourself, enough of that fuss
There ain't nobody here but us
Kindly point that gun the other way
And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble 'til the break of day

Oh yeah
