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
