Ain't nobody here but us chickens

Any Louis Jordan fans out there? I need the lyrics to "Ain't nobody here but
us Chickens". And I'm willing to pay - big. Well, maybe not big. Ok, not at
all. But I'd really appreciate the help! :) Lynn Cherie {reply to

Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens
One night farmer Brown was takin' the air
Locked up the barnyard with the greatest of care
Down in the henhouse something disturbed
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 shin

There ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
You're stompin' around, shaking the ground
You're 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 settin' 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 that gun the other way
And 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 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 you say?
It's easy pickings, there ain't nobody here but us chickens...
