I found a streaming audio website that has one of my favorite songs, and since it is a song about chickens, I thought I'd share the
link...
Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens
By: Louis Jordan
This song hit #1 on the R&B music charts, and stayed there for 17 weeks, in 1946...
Here are the lyrics:
One night farmer Brown,
Was takin` the airs,
Locked up the barnyard
With the greatest of care
Down in the henhouse
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 your 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 chicken`s 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
There ain`t nobody here but us chickens
There ain`t nobody here at all
So quiet yourself,
And stop your 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 your fuss
There ain`t nobody here but us
Kindly point that gun,
The other way
And hobble, hobble hobble off and
Hit the hay
SHOUTED:
`Hey boss man
What do ya say?`
It`s easy pickin's,
There ain`t nobody here but us chickens
I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do...
