Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens Songtext
von Asleep at the Wheel

This little tune is dedicated to man′s best friend
The chicken, that's right
No argument from this crowd, "Ain′t Nobody Here But Us Chicken"

One night, Farmer Brown was takin' 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
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 to the break of day
′Cause there ain't nobody here but us chickens
Sure ain′t nobody at all

You stompin' around, and shakin′ the ground
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
Ground to dig and worms to scratch
It takes a lot of sittin', gettin′ chicks to hatch, you know

Ain't nobody here but us chickens, honey
Nobody at all, quiet yourself, stop all that fuss
There ain′t nobody here but us
Kindly point that gun the other way
And hobble, hobble, hobble 'till the break of day

Blow your horn, Ryan!
Saxophone

Well, tomorrow is a busy day
We got things to do, we got eggs to lay
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 and stop all 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 boss man, now what you say?
It's easy pickings, ain′t nobody here but us chickens
Oh yeah!
