He Was A Famous Trumpet Man


From Old 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


Blowin' Reveille


He's The Boogie-woogie Bugle Boy Of Company B





They Made Him Blow A Bugle


For His Uncle Sam


I 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 Diddle-ee-ada-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 The Boogie-woogie Bugle Boy Of Company B


And When He Plays Boogie-woogie Bugle


He's As Busy As A Bzz 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 Diddle-ee-ada-toot-diddle-ee-ada


Toot Toot He Blows It Eight To The Bar





He Can't Blow A Note


If The Bass And Guitar


Isn't Playin' With 'im





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 Them 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





A-and The Company Jumps


When He Plays Reveille


He's The Boogie-woogie Bugle Boy Of Company B
