D5
He was a famous trumpet man from out Chicago way
He had a boogie style that no one else could play
           G5
He was the top man at his craft
             D5
But then his number came up and he was gone with the draft
D5           A5                   G5
He's in the army now, a-blowin' reveille
G5        D5      B5     D5     B5     D5 B5   D5
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B
D5
They made him blow a bugle for his Uncle Sam
It really brought him down because he couldn't jam
            G5
The captain seemed to understand
            D5
Because the next day the cap' went out and drafted a band
            A5                           G5
And now the company jumps when he plays reveille
         D5      B5     D5     B5     D5  
  D5
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B
D5
A-toot, A-toot, A-toot-diddelyada-toot
He blows it eight-to-the-bar, in boogie rhythm
                                                                                    
                                                         D5
He can't blow a note unless the bass and guitar is playin' with him
             A5                          G5
He makes the company jump when he plays reveille
         D5      B5     D5     B5     D5  
  D5
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B

He was our boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B
And when he plays boogie woogie bugle he was busy as a 'bzzz' bee
And when he plays he makes the company jump eight-to-the-bar
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B

Toot-toot-toot, toot-diddelyada, toot-diddelyada
Toot, toot, he blows it eight-to-the-bar
He can't blow a note if the bass and guitar isn't with 'im
A-a-a-and the company jumps when he plays reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B

[Instrumental]

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
He really breaks it up when he plays reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B

Da-dah-da-dah-da
Da-dah-da-da-dah-da
Da-dah-da-da-da

A-a-a-and the company jumps when he plays reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B
