One night farmer Brown was takin' the air
Locked up the barnyard with the greatest of care
Down in the hen house, somethin' 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
You're kickin' 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 settin', gettin' chicks to hatch

Ohh, 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 that gun the other way
And hobble, hobble hobble off and hit the hay
[Instrumental Break]

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 settin', gettin' chicks to hatch

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
And kindly point that gun the other way
And hobble hobble hobble off and hit the hay

Hey, hey, boss man, what do ya say?
It's easy pickins'
Ain't nobody here but us chickens
