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 busy 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, 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
A-a-a-and the company jumps when he plays reveille
He´s the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B

[Instrumental interlude]

He puts the boys asleep 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

Da-dah-da-dah-da
Da-dah-da-da-dah-da
Da-dah-da-da-da

A-a-a-and the company jumps when he plays reveille
He´s the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B!
