One night farmer Brown was takin' 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 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, with your chin   There ain't nobody here but us chickens   There ain't nobody here at all   You're stompin' around and shakin' the ground   Kicking up an awful dust   We chickens tryin' to sleep and you butt in   And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble, it's a sin      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   Oh, 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   Kindly point the gun the other way   And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble off and hit the hay      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   Oh, 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   Kindly point the gun the other way   And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble off and hit the hay      Hey, hey boss man, what do you say?   It's easy, pickin's, there ain't nobody here but us chickens
