Testo di 'Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy' di Company B

He was a famous trumpet man from out Chicago way
He had a funky 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 could not jam
The captain seemed to understand
Because the next day the cap'n 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 him
And the company jumps 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 his boogie woogie bugle
He was busy as a 'bzzz' bee
And when he plays, he makes the company
Jump an eight-to-the-bar
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B

Da-da-da diddelyada, diddelyada
Toot, toot, he blows it eight-to-the-bar
He can't blow a note unless the 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 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
Whoa, oh, he breaks it up when he plays reveille
The boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B

Bop, bop, bop, bop
Bop, bop, bop, bop
Bop, bop, bop, bop
Bop, bop, bop, bop

He's in the army now playin' reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B
Whoa, whoa, he's playin' reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B
