Persistent earworm alert CDXIII

I haven't thought about the song on the flip side of Fats Domino's "Blueherry Hill" 45 in decades.  Surprisingly, though, "Bo Weevil" has been on my mind for the last four days despite not having heard it anywhere recently.  Lyrically, it has no connection to my life, so I wonder if I heard a song with a comparable rhythm recently without realizing it.

I can't imagine why, after all this time, my subconscious mind has zeroed in on lyrics that use an insect as a metaphor for a lackadaisical person.
