Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy
Lyrics
Yeah ♪ He was a famous trumpet player out Chicago way He had a funky 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 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah They made him blow a bugle for his Uncle Sam It really brought him down because he couldn't jam The captain seemed to understand And so the next day the cap' went out and drafted a band He makes the company jump when he plays reveille He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B A toot, a toot, a toot diddelyada toot He blows it eight to the bar, in boogie rhythm He can't play a note unless the bass and guitar is playin' with He makes the company jump when he plays reveille He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Turn halt Sir Dress right Yes, sir At ease, gentlemen 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 Because they know how he plays when someone gives 'em a beat He really picks it up when he plays reveille He is the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B He was some boogie woogie bugle boy of company B ♪ He really rinses it up when he plays reveille He is the boogie-woogie bugle boy of company B He's in the army now, a blowin' reveille He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B Ooh! A company B
