VERSE 1 He was a famous trumpet man from out Chicago way

VERSE 2 They made him blow his bugle for his Uncle Sam

VERSE 3 He puts the boys to sleep with boogie every night

He had a boogie style that no one else could play

It really brought him down because he could not jam

And wakes them up the same way in the early bright

He was the top man at his craft

The captain seemed to understand

They clap their hands and stomp their feet

But then his number came up and he was gone with the draft

Because the next day the cap went out and drafted a band

Because they know how he plays when someone gives him a beat

He's in the army now, a-blowin' reveille

And now the company jumps, when he plays reveille

He really breaks it up, when he plays reveille

He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B

CHORUS: 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

He makes the company jumps when he plays reveille
