Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy
(OR 0076) Ben Goldberg
OPENER
Grand Square
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
Four Ladies Promenade one time
Swing your girl around and Promenade
He’s in the army now, blowin’ reveille
He’s the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B
FIGURE
Heads Square Thru count 'em 4 hands round
You make a Right Hand Star
The Heads Star Left, roll it one time and then
Same pair and do a Dosado
Swing Thru and then the Boys Trade
Swing the corner lady round and Promenade
He’s in the army now, blowin’ reveille
He’s the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B
MIDDLE BREAK
Grand Square
(Instrumental)
Four Ladies Promenade one time
Swing your girl around and Promenade
He’s in the army now, blowin’ reveille
He’s the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B
CLOSER
Grand Square
Now he blows a bugle for his Uncle Sam
It really got him down ‘cause he couldn’t jam
Seems the captain understands
Because the next day the cap went out and drafted a band.
Four Ladies Promenade one time
Swing your girl around and Promenade
He’s in the army now, blowin’ reveille
He’s the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B
TAG
He’s in the army now, blowin’ reveille
He’s the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B
