He’s going to have a short carreer.

I need a box of nuggets.

I need a tender, a nugget and an egg. Is that fine?

… One night farmer Brown was takin’ the airs

Locked up the barnyard with the greatest of care

Down in the hen house, 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 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”

… “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 of and hit the hay”

… “Hey, hey, boss man, what do ya say?

It’s easy pickings

Ain’t nobody here but us chickens”

KFC might have a job for you, they are looking for fry cooks or is it fried cooks?

So that’s why he crossed the road……

Good fertilizer too.

A chicken pimp? Egg-trader? Mercenary?
