Louis Jordan 1946

Key <C>

One night farmer brown was taking the air
Locked up the barnyard with the greatest of care
Down in the hen house 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 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 kicking up an awful dust
We chickens trying to sleep and you butt in
And hobble hobble hobble hobble it's a sin

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 sitting getting chicks to hatch

Oh there ain't nobody here but us chickens there ain't nobody here at all
So quiet yourself and 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

<sax solo> x2

Tomorrow is a busy day....

Hey boss man what do you say

It's easy picking there ain't nobody here but us chickens
