C Be was a famous trumpet man from out Chicago way C7 Be had a boogie style that no one else could play F Be was the top man of his craft C But then his number came up and he was gone to the draft G7 F7 Beʼs in the army now, ablowinʼ reveille C Beʼs the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B They made him blow his bugle for his uncle Sam It really brought him down because he couldnʼt jam The Captain seemed to understand Because the next day the Cap went out and drafted a band And now the company jumps, when he plays reveille Beʼs the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B Chorus: C A toot, a toot a toot diddle ah-da toot C Be blows it eight to the bar in boogie rhythm F C Be canʼt blow a note unless a bass and guitar is playing with him G7 F7 Be makes the company jump when he plays reveille C Beʼs the boogie woogie bugle boy from Company B Be puts the boys to sleep with boogie every night and wakes them 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 Be really breaks it up, when he plays the reveille Beʼs the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B Chorus.
