Lyrics
You’re bound to fall
For the bugle call
You’re gonna brag
’Bout that 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 that bugle call rag
Chorus
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
Swing along to that bugle call rag
