Well, the boll weevil and the little black bug
Come from a-Mexico they say
Came all the way to texas
Just a-lookin' for a place to stay
Just a-lookin' for a home, just a-lookin' for a home
(Doo-doo-wop-wop-wop)

Well, the first time I seen the boll weevil
He was a-sittin' on the square
Well, the next time that I seen him
He had his a-family there
Just a-lookin' for a home, just a-lookin' for a home
(Doo-doo-wop-wop-wop, doo-doo-wop-wop-wop)

Well, the farmer took the boll weevil
And he put him on the red hot sand
Well, the weevil said this is a-mighty hot
But I take it like a man
This will be my home, this will be my home
(Doo-doo-wop-wop)

Well, the farmer took the boll weevil
And he put him on a keg of ice
Well, the weevil said to the farmer
"This is a-mighty cool and nice"
This will be my home, this will be my home
(Doo-doo-wop-wop-wop)
Well, if anybody should ask you
Who it was who sang this song
Say a guitar picker from a-Oklahoma City
With a pair of blue jeans on
Just a-lookin' for a home, just a-lookin' for a home
(Doo-doo-wop-wop-wop, doo-doo-wop-wop-wop
Doo-doo-wop-wop-wop, doo-doo-wop-wop-wop
Doo-doo-wop-wop-wop)
