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

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
