AIN'T NOBODY HERE BUT US CHICKENS (Whitney - Kramer) LOUIS JORDAN (Mercury 71023, 1956) One night farmer Brown was takin' the air He locked up the barnyard with the greatest of care Down in the henhouse something 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 There ain't nobody here but us We chickens tryin' to sleep and you bust in And hobble-hobble, hobble-hobble, it's a sin 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 chickens tryin' to sleep and you bust in And hobble-hobble, hobble-hobble, it's a sin Hey, 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 There ain't nobody here at all So calm yourself and stop that fuss There ain't nobody here but us Kindly point that gun the other way And hobble-hobble, hobble off and hit the hay Hey, 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 There ain't nobody here at all So calm yourself and stop that fuss There ain't nobody here but us Kindly point that gun the other way And hobble-hobble, hobble off and hit the hay Hey bossman, what'd you say It's easy pickin' There ain't nobody here but us chickens! |
