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
