He was a famous trumpet man from out Chicago way
He had a boogie style that know 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 a blowin reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B
Ah, toot ah, toot ah toot diddelyada
Ha Yah ha yah ha yah hi
Have you ever danced in the topics?
With that hazy lazy like kind of crazy like South American way Hey!
Ha yah ha yah ha yah hi
Could you have ever kissed in the moon light?
In the grand of Glorious Gay Notlrious South American way
Bei mir bist schon Please let me explain
Bei mir bist du schon means you're grand
Bei mir bist du schon again I'll explain
It means you're the fairest in the land
I could say bello bello even say wonderbar
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
I've tried to explain
Bei mir bist du schon so kiss me and say you understand
Who's the livin' dolly with the beautiful eyes?
What a pair o'lips I'd like to try'em for size
I'll just tell her "Baby won't you swing with me"
Hope she tell me "maybe" what a wing it will be
So I said politely, "Darlin' may I intrude?"
She said "Don't keep me waitin' when I'M in the Mood"
In the Mood, In the Mood, In the Mood
It didn't take me long to say "I'm In the Mood now"
Pardon me, boy
Is that the Chattanooga choo choo?
Rind on track twenty-nine and you can gimme a shine
I can afford to board a Chatanooga choo choo
I, I, I got my fare and just a trifle to spare
You leave the Pennsylvania station bout a quarter to four
Read a magazine and then you're in Baiti more
Dinner in the dinner, nothing could be finer
Than to have your ham an'eggs in Carolina
When you hear the whistle browin' eight to the bar
Then you know the Tennesse is not very far
Shovel all the coal in Gotta keep in rollin'
Woo, woo, Chatanooga there you are
She's gonna cry until her I tell her that I'll never roam
So Chatanooga Choo choo won't you choo choo me home
So Chatanooga Choo choo won't you choo choo me home
