The Boll Weevil Song
The 1961 recording by American R&B singer Brook Benton was released as
"The Boll Weevil Song" in an adaptation by Benton and
 frequent musical collaborator Clyde Otis.
The majority of the song's lyrics are spoken by Benton, as in when the farmer inquires, "Say, why'd you pick my farm?", to which the boll weevils reply, "We ain't gonna do ya much harm". The chorus of "we're lookin' for a home" was sung by Benton and the Mike Stewart Singers.

Whether you’re a pilot, a frequent traveler, or just someone who happens to be curious about aviation, take flight and get over to the Enterprise Municipal Airport to meet
PIPER WEEVIL.
