lyrics

Yea-ey!
Oh oh oh, yeaaaah
He was a famous trumpet man from out Chicago way
He had a boogie sound 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
A-toot a-toot, a-tootedly a-dee toot
A-toot a-toot, a-tootedly a-dee toot

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 a band
He's in the army now, a-blowin' reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B

A-toot a-toot, a-tootedly a-dee toot
A-toot a-toot, a-tootedly a-dee toot

Ohhhh!

He was a famous trumpet man from out Chicago way
He had a boogie sound 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 noooow, a-blowin' reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B
