เพลง Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy

Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy - 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

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
