Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy Lyrics

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, blowing 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 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-diddelyada-toot

He blows it
eight-to-the-bar, in boogie rhythm

He can't blow a note unless the bass
and guitar is playing with him

He makes the company jump when he plays
reveille

He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B



He
was our 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

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 the same way in the early
bright

They clap their hands and stomp 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



Da-doo-da da-doo-da-da da

Da-doo-da da-doo-da-da da

Da-doo-da
da-doo-da-da da

Da-doo-da da-doo-da-da

And the company jumps when
he plays reveille

He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B!
