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 and 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-root a-toot
a-toot-diddelyada-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 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
And when
he plays boogie
woogie bugle he was
buzy 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
Toot-toot-toot
toot-diddelyada
toot-diddelyada
Toot toot he blows
it eight-to-the-bar
He can't blow a note
if the bass and
guitar isn't with him
A-and the company jumps
when he plays reveille
He's the boogie woogie
bugle boy of Company B
He puts the boys
asleep with boogie
every night And
wakes 'em up he 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
Oh whoa he gets it up
when he plays reveille
The boogie woogie
bugle boy of Company B
A-root a-toot
a-toot-diddelyada-toot
He blows
it eight-to-the-bar
He can't blow a note
if the bass and guitar
isn't whoa with him
A-and the company
jumps when he plays
reveille He's the
boogie woogie
bugle boy of Company B
