Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy (Of Company B)

He was a famous trumpet man from out chicago way

He had a boogie style that no one else could play

He was the top man at his craft

But then his number came up and he was gone with the draft

He's in the army now. he's blowin' reveille

He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B

They made him blow a bugle for his Uncle Sam

It really brought him down because he could not jam

The captain seemed to understand

Because the next day the cap' went out and drafted the band

And now the company jumps when he plays reveille

He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B

A toot, a toot, a toodlie-a-da-toot

He blows it eight to the bar in boogie rhythm

He can't blow a note unless a bass and guitar

Is playin' with him

And the company jumps when he plays reveille

He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B

He was some boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B

And when he played his boogie woogie bugle

He was busy as a busy bee

And when he played he made the company jump eight to the bar

He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B

Andata toodliata-toodliata toot toot

He blows it eight to the bar

He can't blow a note if a bass and guitar

Isn't with him

And the company jumps when he plays reveille

He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B

He was some boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B

And when he played his boogie woogie bugle

He was busy as a busy bee

And when he played he made the company jump eight to the bar

He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B

Andata toodliata-toodliata toot toot

He blows it eight to the bar

He can't blow a note if a bass and guitar

Isn't with him

And the company jumps when he plays reveille

He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B
