two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face 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 in his craft
When his number came up

Allemande left and weave the ring
He's in the army now, he's blowin' reveille
You swing your girl around and promenade for me
He's in the army now, he's playin' reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B


FIGURE    Basic - SSD Week 7, corner progression

The heads (sides) you promenade and travel halfway round
The sides (heads) go right & left thru and turn you girl
The sides (heads) square thru go four
You go all the way, dosado her I say
Swing thru, boys run, wheel & deal
You swing your corner girl and promenade I say
*He's in the army now, he's playin' reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*And now the company jumps when he plays reveille

MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
*They made him blow a bugle for his Uncle Sam
It really got him down because he couldn't jam
The Capt'n seemed to understand

Because the next day, Left allemande and weave the ring
And now the company jumps, when he plays reveille
You swing your girl around and promenade for me
And now the company jumps, when he plays reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
*He puts the boys to sleep with boogie every night
He wakes them up the same way in the morning bright
They clap their hands and stomp their feet
Because they know how he plays

Left allemande, weave the ring
He really breaks it up, when he plays reveille
You swing your girl around and promenade for me
He really breaks it up, when he plays reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B
