Album: The Very Best Since 1970

Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens

Asleep at the wheel's version

one night farmer brown was checking the air
locked up the barn and with the greast of care
looked into the hen house something stir'd
when he holler'd Who's There! this is what he heard

There ain't nobody here but us chickens
ain't nobody here at all
so quite your self stop all that fuss
there ain't nobody here but us
and kindly point that gun the other way
and hobba hobba hobble off and hit the hay
cause there ain't nobody here but us chickens
ain't nobody here at all
you stompin around
shakein the ground
kickin' up an awlful dust
we chickens trying to sleep and you bust in
and hobba hobba hobble off quick as chin
cause tommrow we've a busy day
we got things to do we got eggs to lay
ground to dig and worms to scratch
takes alota sittin' gettin' chicks to hatch
cause there ain't nobody here but us chickens uh.
noooooboodddy at alll
so quite your self and stop that fuss
there ain't nobody here but us
and kindly point that gun the other way
and hobba hobba hobble til ya hit the hay
