Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy (From Company B) 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 then he was gone with the draftHe's in the army now, a-blowin' reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company BThey 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 bandAnd now the company jumps when he plays reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company BA-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 himAnd the company jumps when he plays reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company BHe was our boogie woogie bugle boy of company B
And when he played boogie woogie bugle
He was busy as a bzzz beeAnd when he played he made
The company jump an eight to the bar
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company BToot-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 himAnd the company jumps when he plays reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company BHe was our boogie woogie bugle boy of company B
And when he played boogie woogie bugle
He was busy as a bzzz beeAnd when he played he made
The company jump an eight to the bar
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company BToot-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 himAnd the company jumps when he plays reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B
