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 of his craft
But then his number came up
and he was gone in the draft
He’s in the army now
A ’blowin’ reveille
He’s the boogie woogie
bugle boy a 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 a 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 with him
He makes the company jump
when he plays reveille
He’s the boogie woogie
bugle boy a company B

He was some boogie woogie
bugle boy a company B

And when he plays
boogie woogie bugle
He was busy as a bzzzzz bee
And when he plays he makes
the company jump
right eight to the bar
He’s the boogie woogie
bugle boy a company B

He puts the all to sleep
With  boogie every night
And wakes them up the
same way in the early bright
They clap their hands
and stomp their feet
‘Cause they know how it goes
when someone gives them a beat
Oh he wakes them up
when he plays reveille
He’s the boogie woogie
bugle boy a company B

A root, a toot, a toodlie-a-da
to toot toot
He blows it eight
to the bar
He can’t blow a note
 unless the bass and guitar
is in wo wam bam
And the company jumps
when he plays reveille
He’s the boogie woogie bugle
boy a company B
