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 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 'im
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
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 'im
A a a 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 the boogie woogie
bugle he was busy as a
