Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy (1941 Single Version)

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, a blowing revelie
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 cap'n seemed to understand
Because the next day the cap went and drafted a band
And now the company jumps when he plays revelie
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B
A toot A toot Atootie a Toot
He blows an 8 to the bar
He cant play a note unless a bass or guitar are playing with him
he makes the company jump when he plays revelie
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B
He was a 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 8 to the bar
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B
Toot toot toot
He blows it 8 to the bar
He cant a blow a note unless a bass or guitar are playing with him
He he he
The company jumps when he plays revelie
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B
Puts the boys to sleep with boogie every night
He 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 revelie
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B
He he he
The company jumps when he plays revelie
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B
