two columns

OPENER - CLOSER    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 at his craft
But then his number came up and he was gone with the draft

4 ladies promenade go walkin around that ring
You get back home, swing and promenade round the ring
He's in the army now, blowin reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company "B"


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Now he blows a bugle for his uncle Sam
It really got him down because he couldn't jam
Seems the captain understands
Because the next day the cap'n went out and drafted a band


FIGURE    Mainstream - SSD Week 12, corner progression

Heads (sides) square thru you get 4 hands around and go
Around to the corner girl, touch 1/4 you know
Scoot back across the ring you fly
Boys you run to the right and then go right & left thru
Slide thru, swing that corner girl
You take her hand, promenade go walkin' the world
He's in the army now, blowin reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company "B"


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
(32 beat interlude)
4 ladies promenade go walkin' around the ring
You get back home and swing and promenade round the ring
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"
Oh yeah...
