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. he´s 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 could not jam.
The captain seemed to understand,
Because the next day the cap´ went out and drafted the band.
And now the company jumps when he plays reveille.
He´s the boogie woogie bugle boy of 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 playin´ with him.
And the company jumps when he plays reveille.
He´s the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B.

He was some boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B.
And when he played his boogie woogie bugle
He was busy as a busy bee.
And when he played he made the company jump eight to the bar.
He´s the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B.

Andata toodliata-toodliata toot toot
He blows it eight to the bar.
He can´t blow a note if a bass and guitar
Isn´t with him.
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,
´cause they know how it goes when someone gives him a beat.
Woah, woah, he wakes ´em up when he plays reveille.
The boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B.

A root, a toot, a toodli-a-da to toot toot toot

Isn´t, woah, with him.
And the company jumps when he plays reveille.
He´s the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B
