Well the first time I saw Bool Weevil

He was a-sittin' on a square

Well the next time that I saw him

He had his whole family there

Just a lookin' for a home



Well the farmer took the Bool Weevil

And pulled him on the red hot sand

Well the Weevil said: "It is mighty hot"

But I take it like a man

Just a lookin' for a home



Well, the Weevil said to the farmer:

"Sell your old machine

When we fill your cup

You can buy gasolino"

Just a lookin' for a home



Well if somebody should ask you

Who it was who sang this song

Say you set a beating from Oklahoma city



Just a lookin' for a home
