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 couldn't 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-toot, a-toot

a-toot diddly-a-da-toot

he blows it eight to the bar

in boogie rhythm

He can't blow a note

unless the bass and guitar

are playin' with him

He makes the company jump

when he plays reveille

he's the boogie woogie

bugle boy of company B

He's was the boogie woogie

bugle boy of company B...

and when he plays

boogie woogie bugle

he's was busy as a bzzz bee

And when he plays

he makes the company

jump eight to the bar

he's the boogie woogie

bugle boy of company B

Doo-doo-doo

diddly-a-da

doo-diddly-a-da

doo-doo

he blows it eight to the bar

He can't blow a note

if the 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 them 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 him a beat

He really breaks it up

when he plays reveille

he's the boogie woogie

bugle boy of company B

Ba-ba, ba-da-ba-da

ba-ba, ba-da-ba-da

ba-ba, ba-da-ba-da

ba-ba, ba-da-ba

And the company jumps

when he plays reveille

he's the boogie woogie

bugle boy of company B...
