Discover the story of the song > Ain’t Nobody Here but Us Chickens – Louis Jordan

The song tells the story of a farmer named Brown who is trying to sleep, but keeps hearing noises from his hen house. He goes to investigate and asks who's there, but only hears the response "there ain't nobody here but us chickens". The chickens try to get him to quiet down and leave them alone, as they have work to do the next day laying eggs and digging in the ground. Eventually, the farmer is convinced to go back to sleep and leave the chickens in peace.
