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 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” “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 of and hit the hay” (Instrumental interlude) “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 pickings There ain't nobody here but us chickens” Tail credits: You braggin’ all about the things you can do Every time you make a pitch If you're so smart How come you ain't rich? You claim to have picked every horse that won 'Cause you know just which is which Yes, if you're so smart Tell me, how come you ain't rich? Henry built the Ford and made his pile Woolworth used his five and ten Rockerfeller's wealth came from Standard Oil And Waterman's came from a pen You claim it all came from consultin' you Isn't that a brand new switch? If you're so smart How come you ain't rich? (Instrumental interlude) Mention work and you go berserk 'Cause you hate to do a stitch If you're so smart How come you ain't rich? You out for a ride on the road to fame Yet you wind up in a ditch Mmm-hmm - if you're so smart Tell me, how come you ain't rich? Hershey started with a chocolate bar Wrigley with a stick of gum Planters took his peanuts and travelled far Now tell me - what you doin', chum? I' been hearin' all about all your big ideas Since you started. What's the hitch? You never made ten dollars yet Still you say you can balance the national debt If you're so smart How come you ain't rich?
