Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy (2016 Remaster) - Bette Midler

He was a famous trumpet man

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 a 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 bass

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 bass

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

Woh woh 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

Can't blow a note if a bass

and guitar isn't

Woh with him

And the company jumps

when he plays reveille

He's the boogie woogie bugle boy

of company B
