Boll Weevil is the fifth track off The Presidents of the United States of America’s self-titled album.
Chris Ballew and Dave Dederer talked about the song in the guitar book by Alfred:
Chris:
It started out as a 4-track piece that had unintelligible lyrics on it but a great vibe and melody. I wro...
[Intro]
(Get down)
[Verse 1]
Let me tell you about a friend of mine
His name's Boll Weevil, check him out
Spends all day on his big butt
And he don't ever, ever get outside
I come to visit, I bring some sunshine
And I just spread it all over the fire
He's stuck on his big couch, stuck in his big shell
He looks at the TV, and he's alright
I come from the Drug-Mo, the local drug store
Bug is a fly, baby, he's never uptight
[Pre-Chorus]
And I wonder: Boll Weevil, why don't you get out of your home?
He said, "I'm comfortable here; I don't wanna move, I don't wanna leave"
I said, "Boll Weevil get right out of your home"
[Verse 2]
Good bye, I gotta stay, I'll move some other day, bye bye, gotta go to sleep
And let the tube shine, let the tube shine
Let the tube shine, let the tube shine
[Chorus]
Now I would tell you about Boll Weevil but that bug is just too scary
He's sittin' there all alone
But I try to coax him out with chocolate pies
But he would not move a muscle and I tried
To make him see that the sun is shinin' outside
To make him see that the sun is shinin' outside
To make him see that the sun is shinin' outside
To make him see that the sun is shinin' outside
To make him see that the sun is shinin' outside
[Interlude]
Break it down
Check it out
[Bridge]
Boll Weevil get right out of your home
Boll Weevil get right out of your home
Boll Weevil get right out of your home
Boll Weevil get right out of your home
[Chorus]
Now I would tell you about Boll Weevil but that bug is just too scary
He's sittin' there all alone
But I try to coax him out with chocolate pies
But he would not move a muscle and I tried
To make him see that the sun is shinin' outside
To make him see that the sun is shinin' out
Make him see that the sun is shinin' outside
Make him see that the sun is shinin' outside
Make him see that the sun is shinin' outside
Make him see that the sun is shinin' outside
Make him see that the sun is shinin' outside
Make him see that the sun is shinin' outside
Make him see that the sun is shinin' outside
Make him see that the sun is shinin' outside
Make him see that the sun is shinin' outside
[Outro]
Make him see the sun, make him see the sun
Make him see the goddamn sun
C'mon little buggy, he's a little bug
