| 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) |
| Well, the first time that 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) |
| 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» |
| 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 mighty cool and nice |
| This will be my home, this will be my home» |
| (Doo, doo, 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) |
