Hughie Prince - Boogie Woogie (Bugle Boy Of Company B) lyrics

He was a famous trumpet man from out Chicago way He had a boogie style 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. he's blowin' reveille He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B They made him blow a bugle for his uncle sam It really brought him down because he could not jam The captain seemed to understand Because the next day the cap' went out and drafted the band And now the company jumps when he plays reveille He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B A root, a toot, a toodlie-a-da-toot He blows it eight to the bar in boogie rhythm He can't blow a note unless a ba** and guitar Is playin' with him And the company jumps when he plays reveille He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B He was some boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B And when he played his boogie woogie bugle He was busy as a busy bee And when he played he made the company jump eight to the bar He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B Andata toodliata-toodliata toot toot He blows it eight to the bar He can't blow a note if a ba** and guitar Isn't with him And the company jumps when he plays reveille He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B He puts the boys to sleep with boogie every night And wakes 'em up the same way in the early bright They clap their hands and stamp their feet Cause they know how it goes when someone gives him a beat Woah, woah, he wakes 'em up when he plays reveille The boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B A root, a toot, a toodli-a-da to toot toot toot He's blowin' eight to the bar Yeah, he can't blow a note if a ba** and guitar Isn't, woah, with him And the company jumps when he plays reveille He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B
