Lyrics

[Verse 1]

He was a famous trumpet man

From old Chicago way

(Come on) He had a boogie style

That no one else could play

[Verse 2]

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

(Army now) Blowin' reveille

(Reveille) He's the boogie woogie bugle boy

Of Company B

[Verse 3]

Oh, you can't hurry love

No, you just have to wait

She said, love don't come easy

It's a game of give and take

[Verse 4]

Now break

[Verse 5]

Come on, lunch

[Verse 6]

(Awe, hey) Hey sister, go sister

Soul sister

Flow sister

[Verse 7]

Guichi, Guichie, ya, ya, dada

Guichie, Guichie, ya, ya, here

Mocha chocolate, ya, ya

Creole lady Marmalade

[Verse 8]

And now it's time for a breakdown

[Verse 9]

Never gonna get it, never gonna get it, never gonna get it

Never gonna get it, never gonna get it, never gonna get it

Never gonna get it (Woah, woah, woah)

[Verse 10]

Never gonna get it, never gonna get it, never gonna get it

Never gonna get it, never gonna get it, never gonna get it

Never gonna get it, never get it
