You're bound to fall for the bugle call;

You're gonna brag 'bout the Bugle Call Rag.

Thin or fat, young or old;

Shake their shoulders bold.

You're bound to fall for the bugle call;

You're gonna brag 'bout the Bugle Call Rag.

Hold me baby; Let's syncopate to that blue melody;

Just hesitate while a break they take Shh!

While we're dancing please hold me tight; step lively don't lag.
