Bobby Joel and Betty got a real nice farm Everybody knows that they work real hard Bobby Joel sweatin' in the noonday sun Betty right beside him 'til the work's all done
But every now and then they get a strong desire To crawl up in the hay and set the barn on fire
Now the hay needs haulin', the hogs need slopped The corn needs cuttin' but the tractor's stopped They climbin' up the ladder, clear through the loft Shooken those dirty ol' work clothes off
Singin' brown chicken, brown cow (Ain't nobody watchin' but the) Brown chicken, brown cow Yeah
Black crow sittin' on a weather-vane He can see 'em comin' from a mile away Yeah, he's call-call-callin' out a loud alarm Hey, ol' Bobby Joel and Betty headin' for the barn
Now the chicken ain't peckin' and the cow won't eat They're fightin' each other for a front row seat
Now the hay needs haulin', the hogs need slopped The corn needs cuttin' but the tractor's stopped They climbin' up the ladder, clear through the loft Shooken those dirty ol' work clothes off
Singin' brown chicken, brown cow (Ain't nobody watchin' but the) Brown chicken, brown cow Yeah
Now the hay needs haulin', the hogs need slopped The corn needs cuttin' but the tractor's stopped They climbin' up the ladder, clear through the loft Shooken those dirty ol' work clothes off
Singin' brown chicken, brown cow (Ain't nobody watchin' but the) Brown chicken, brown cow (Ain't nobody watchin')
Brown chicken, brown cow (Ain't nobody watchin' but) Brown chicken, brown cow Only one watchin', baby (Ain't nobody watchin')
