He
was a famous trumpet man from out Chicago way
He had a boogie style that no one else could play
He was a 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 blown rebel he
He's the boogie-woogie bugle boy of Confidentiality
Then he didn't know of Hugo Forrest's Uncle Sam It
really brought him down because he could not jam
The captain seemed to understand Because the
next year the cap went out and drafted the band
And now the company jumps when he plays verbally
He's the boogie-woogie bugle boy of Company B
A root,
a toot,
a tootly-a-tootly attitude He blows the A to the bar in boogie rhythm
He can't blow a note unless the bass and guitar are playing with him
And the company jumps when he plays verbally
He's the boogie-woogie bugle boy of Company B
He was some boogie-woogie bugle boy of Company B
When he played boogie-woogie bugle he was busy as a busy bee
When he played he made the company jump the A to the bar
He's the boogie-woogie bugle boy of Company B
A root,
a toot,
a tootly-a-tootly attitude He blows the A to the bar
He can't blow a note unless the bass and guitar are playing with him
And the company jumps when he plays verbally
He's the boogie-woogie bugle boy of Company B
He blows the A to the bar He can't blow a note
unless the bass and guitar are playing with him
And the company jumps when he plays verbally
He's the boogie-woogie bugle boy of Company B
