The Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy is a song in the video I Can Do It!.
Lyrics
- 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 at his craft
- But then his number came up
- And he was called to 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 Cap’n seemed to understand
- Because the next thing the Cap
- 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- titiali- toot
- He blows an eight to the bar
- In boogie rhythm
- He can’t blow a note
- Unless the bass and guitar
- Are playing with him
- He makes the company jump
- When he plays reveille
- He’s the boogie woogie bugle boy
- Of Company B
- He was some boogie woogie bugle boy
- Of Company B
- And when he plays boogie woogie bugle
- He was busy and an buzzzzy bee
- He makes the company jump
- When he plays reveille
- He’s the boogie woogie bugle boy
- Of Company B
- He puts the boys to sleep
- With boogie every night
- And wakes them 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 them up
- When he plays reveille
- He’s the boogie woogie bugle boy
- Of Company B
- And the company jumps
- When he plays reveille
- He’s the boogie woogie bugle boy
- Of Company B
