If you come to song meanings looking for answers to questions, i find it helps to read what people have written.
As posted above - a weevil is a small beetle - which makes the phrase sensible. I just like the idea of a small toddler that is palpably evil - just something about their eyes or demeanor which foreshadows great malevolence - like the movie the Bad Seed (no pun intended here, but interesting non-the-less.)
It's written as weavil, and once again I'm not in front of the booklet right now, so I'm not sure what that has to say on the matter - but i don't know if weavil is a real word. But, weevil definitely is.
