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, 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
But 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 are 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

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`im-ma
A-a-a-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
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

Dah-dah, da-dah-dum-dah-dah
Dah-dah, da-dah-dum-dah-dah
Dah-dah, da-
