Over deze songtekst:
Een weevil is een soort kever: een snuitkever. Sommige soorten kunnen enorme schade toebrengen aan graan en andere planten.
Oh, Charlie's neat and Charlie's sweet and Charlie he's a dandy And ev'ry time he goes to town he brings me sugar candy And I don't want none o' your weevily wheat and I don't want none o' your barley Just take some flour in half an hour and bake a cake for Charlie It's Charlie here and it's Charlie there, Charlie over the ocean Oh, Charlie he'll be back again if he don't change his notion My pretty little pink, I once did think I'd never do without you But since I lost all hopes of you I care very little about you How old are you, my pretty little miss? How old are you, my honey? If I don't die of a broken heart I'll be sixteen on Sunday. Oh, rink toomah dink toomah diddle eye dum, rink toomah dink toomah doodle, Rink toomah dink toomah diddle eye dum, and a rink toomah dink toomah doodle. Now can you court, my pretty little miss? And can you court, my flower? I'll court more in a minute and a half than you can in an hour Oh, rink toomah dink toomah diddle eye dum, rink toomah dink toomah doodle Rink toomah dink toomah diddle eye dum, and a rink toomah dink toomah doodle Will you marry me, my pretty little miss? Will you marry me, good looking'? I'll marry you but I won't do your washin' or your cooking Oh, rink toomah dink toomah diddle eye dum, rink toomah dink toomah doodle Oh, rink toomah dink toomah diddle eye dum, and a rink toomah dink toomah doodle Oh, Charlie he's a nice young man, Charlie he's a dandy And every time he goes to town he brings me sugar candy And I don't want none o' your weevily wheat, I don't want none o' your barley Just take some flour in half an hour and bake a cake for Charlie It's Charlie here and it's Charlie there, Charlie over the ocean Oh, Charlie he'll be back again if he don't change his notion
