Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy

Lyrics

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, a-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 a band
 And now the Company jumps when he plays [Reveille]
 He's the boogie-woogie bugle boy of Company B
 A-root, a-toot, a-toot-diddely-ada-toot
 He blows it eight-to-the-bar, in boogie rhythm
 He can't blow a note unless the bass and guitar is playin' with 'im
 A-ha-ha-hand 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 plays boogie-woogie bugle he was busy as a "bzzzy" bee
 And when he plays he makes the company jump eight-to-the-bar
 He's the boogie-woogie bugle boy of Company B
 A toot-diddelyada, toot-diddelyada, toot-toot
 He blows it eight-to-the-bar
 Can't blow a note if the bass and guitar isn't with 'im
 A-ha-ha-hand the Company jumps when he plays [Reveille]
 He's the boogie-woogie bugle boy of Company B
 [(bugle solo)]
 He puts the boys to sleep with boogie every night
 And wakes 'em up the same way in the early bright
 They clap their hands, and stamp their feet
 'Cause they know how he blows when someone gives him a beat
 Whoa-whoa he breaks it up when he plays [Reveille]
 The boogie-woogie bugle boy of Company B
 A-root, a toot, a-toot-diddely-ada-doot to-to-toot
 He blows, eight to the bar
 He can blow a note if the bass and guitar isn't, whoa, with him
 And the company jumps when he plays [Reveille]
 He's the boogie-woogie bugle boy of Company B!
