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
He's in the army now. He's blowing reveille
He's the Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company B

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

Hey sister, go sister
Soul sister, flow sister

Gichie, gichie, ya-ya da-da (hey, hey, hey)
Gichie, gichie, ya-ya here (here)
Mocha chocalata, ya-ya (oh yeah)
Creole Lady Marmalade

And now it's time for a breakdown

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 gonna get it

Oh
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 gonna get it
Never get it
