Remember, “No one here but us chickens.” from the movie?
My Mother used that expression, but believe she heard it in OK.

"Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens" is a 1946 song, with music and lyrics by Alex Kramer and Joan Whitney. It was recorded by Louis Jordan and His Tympany Five. The single hit number one on the US Billboard R&B Juke Box chart and number six on the pop chart.[1] The B-side, "Let the Good Times Roll", peaked at number two on the R&B Juke Box chart."

I vaguely recall seeing part of this movie on TV quite a few years ago, so I do not know the reference to the expression in the movie. But I do know that there is a song from the 1930s or 1940s that has the refrain of something like “Nobody here but us chickens”. I’m sure it’s on YouTube. (Okay, now that song will be my earworm today.)
