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 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 the band
And now the company jumps
when he plays reveille
He's the boogie-woogie
bugle boy from Company B
A-toot a-toot,
a-toot diddle-ah-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 'im
He makes the comp'ny jump
when he plays reveille
He's the boogie-woogie
bugle boy of Company B
