He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B
Can't blow a note if a bass and guitar isn't, woh, with him
A root, a toot, a toodli-a-da to toot toot toot, he's blowin' eight to the bar
They clap their hands and stamp their feet
And guitar is playin' with him and the company jumps when he plays reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B
Andata toodliata-toodliata toot toot, he blows it eight to the bar
He was the top man at his craft, but then his number came up
And when he played he made the company jump eight to the bar
And wakes 'em up the same way in the early bright
'Cause they know how it goes when someone gives him a beat
He was some boogie woogie bugle boy of company B
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
The boogie woogie bugle boy of company B
They made him blow a bugle for his Uncle Sam
When he played his boogie woogie bugle, he was busy as a busy bee
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B
And the company jumps when he plays reveille
It really brought him down because he could not jam
And now the company jumps when he plays reveille
He can't blow a note if a bass and guitar isn't with him
He puts the boys to sleep with boogie every night
In boogie rhythm, he can't blow a note unless a bass
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B
Because the next day the cap' went out and drafted the band
The captain seemed to understand
Woh, woh, he wakes 'em up when he plays reveille
And the company jumps when he plays reveille
And he was gone with the draft, he's in the army now a blowin' reveille
