Lyrics

He was a famous trumpet man 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 the 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 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
 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 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 it goes when someone gives him a beat
 Woh, woh, he wakes 'em up when he plays reveille
 The boogie woogie bugle boy of company B
 A root, a toot, a toodli-a-da to toot toot toot, he's blowin' eight to the bar
 Can't blow a note if a bass and guitar isn't, woh, with him
 And the company jumps when he plays reveille
 He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B
