Original poster
Frankie was a famous trumpet man from old 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 couldn't 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
He's the boogie-woogie bugle boy of Company B

But even though he had a sweet heart in his home town
She was far away from him which made him frown
and then a beauty in France with dark brown eyes
came awaltzing through in lovely disguise
she was a soldier from Germany who'd been sent on leave.
The boogie woogie bugle boy and the girl from Germany

Setting: Avilon, France
