The PHPS choir is up and running! Please see Deb for details, here are the lyrics to our song:
There Ain’t Nobody Here But Us Chickens.
Alex Cramer and Joan Whitney 1947.
Sung by Louis Jordan
Verse 1
One night farmer Brown was taken’ the air
Locked up the barnyard with the greatest of care
Down in the henhouse something’ stirred
When he shouted ‘Who’s there?’
This is what he heard
Chorus 1
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 trying’ 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 shaken’ the ground
You’re kicking’ up an awful dust
We chickens trying’ to sleep, and you butt in
and hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble. It’s a sin.
Bridge
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 lots of settin’ gettin’ chicks to hatch
Chorus 2
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
Kindly point that gun the other way
and hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble off and hit the hay
Instrumental solo
Repeat Bridge
Repeat Chorus 2.
Hey boss man,
What do ya say it’s easy pickin’s.
There ain’t nobody here but us chickens.
