(wah-hoo)

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 f armer 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)
