Be was a famous trumpet man from out Chicago way
Be had a boogie style that no one else could play
Be was the top man of his craft
But then his number came up and he was gone to the draft
Be's in the army now, ablowin' reveille
Be's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company
They made him blow his 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
And now the company jumps, when he plays reveille
Be's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company
Chorus:
toot, a toot a toot diddle ah-da toot
Be blows it eight to the bar in boogie rhythm
Be can't blow a note unless a bass and guitar is playing with him
Be makes the company jump when he plays reveille
Be's the boogie woogie bugle boy from Company
Be 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
Be really breaks it up, when he plays the reveille
Be's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company В
Chorus
