Lyrics:

He was a famous trumpet man from old 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 a blowin' Reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B
A-toot a-toot a-toot-diddelya do da
(And now, three lovely ladies that are stealing GI's hearts all over the world)
Ah ya ah ya ah ya ah have you ever sing it in the tropics?
Well that thrilled the fool with the Gaucha cool of th? South American way hey
Ah ya ah ya ah ya ah could you have ?ver kissed in the moonlight?
If you never kissed who knows what you've missed in the South American way
Bei mir bist Du schön please let me explain
Bei mir bist Du schön means you're grand
Bei mir bist Du schön again I'll explain
It means you're the fairest in the land
I could say bella bella even say wunderbar
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
I'll try to explain bei mir bist Du schön
So kiss me and say you'll understand
(Okay guys, grab your gal and hit the floor, 'cause here's that beat you've been waiting to swing to)
Who's the loving daddy with the beautiful eyes
What a pair o' lips I'd like to try 'em for size
I'll just tell him baby won't you swing it with me?
Hope he tells me baby what a wing it will be
So I said politely darlin' may I intrude?
He 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'

If you ever go down Trinidad they make you feel so very glad
Calypso sing and make up rhyme
Guarantee you one real good fine time
Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter workin' for the Yankee dollar
Oh Tico Tico tick oh Ticko Ticko tock
This Tico Tico he's the cuckoo in my clock
And when he says Cuckoo he means it's time to woo
It's tico time for all the lovers in the block
I've got a heavy date a tête-a-tête at eight
So speak oh Ticko tell me is it getting late?
If I'm on time cuckoo but if I'm late woo woo
The one my heart is gone to may not want to wait
In Spain they say sì sì
In France you hear oui oui
Every little Dutch girl says ja ja
Every little Russian says da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da ba da da da da da da da
Ba da da dee bee da ba dee bee da ba da da da ba da da da da da dee dee
