Bette Midler Chapel Of Love Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy Lyrics

Chapel Of Love Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy Lyrics

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. He's 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.

And 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.

Woah, woah, 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.

Yeah,
he can't blow a note if a bass and guitar

isn't, woah, with him.

And the company jumps when he plays reveille.

He's the boogie woogie
bugle boy of company B.
