Gene Krupa - Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy lyrics
rate meHe was a famous trumpet man from out Chicago way<br />
He had a boogie style that no one else could play<br />
He was the top man at his craft, but then his number came up<br />
And he was gone with the draft<br />
He's in the army now he's blowin' reveille<br />
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B<br />
<br />
They made him blow a bugle for his Uncle Sam<br />
It really brought him down because he couldn't jam<br />
The captain seemed to understand<br />
Because the next day the cap' went out and drafted the band<br />
And now the company jumps when he plays reveille<br />
He's the boogie woogie, bugle boy of company B<br />
<br />
A toot, a toot, a toodlie-a-da-toot<br />
He blows it eight to the bar in boogie rhythm<br />
He can't blow a note unless a bass and guitar is playin' with him<br />
He makes the company jump when he plays reveille<br />
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B<br />
<br />
He puts the boys to sleep with boogie every night<br />
And wakes 'em up the same way in the early bright<br />
They clap their hands and stamp their feet<br />
Because they know how he plays when someone gives him a beat<br />
He really breaks it up when he plays reveille<br />
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B
