He Blew On His Bugle-e-oo 1913

Pat McCue in Sixty Two
was known to be a bugler true,
when the Civil War was through
Pat had nothing to do.
Yet when folks
would sleep and snore
Pat would dream about the war
from his little "two by four"
came a terrible roar.

Each time he blew
on his bugleeoo
when he let out,
the neighbors used to shout,
you can't shut him up
you can't shut him up
he blew on his bugleeoo
All night from out of his flat
Ratatatat
came notes so blue
but still he blew
ev'rything that he knew
He used to play
Columbia of the ocean
how very blue,
from the setting moon
to the rising sun
he would tear off tunes of SixtyOne
and he blew
Blew on his bugleeoo

Each time he blew
on his bugleeoo
when he let out,
the neighbors used to shout,
you can't shut him up
you can't shut him up
he blew on his bugleeoo
All night from out of his flat
Ratatatat
came notes so blue
but still he blew
ev'rything that he knew
He used to play
Columbia of the ocean
how very blue,
from the setting moon
to the rising sun
he would tear off tunes of SixtyOne
and he blew
Blew on his bugleeoo

Patrick was a wise old guy
for he knew food was very high
When the neighbors let things fly
Pat had nothing to buy.
Nice fresh peaches
hit his door
Coal and wood lay on the floor,
and it wasn't long before
Pat had a grocery store.

Each time he blew
on his bugleeoo
when he let out,
the neighbors used to shout,
you can't shut him up
you can't shut him up
he blew on his bugleeoo
All night from out of his flat
Ratatatat
came notes so blue
but still he blew
ev'rything that he knew
He used to play
Columbia of the ocean
how very blue,
from the setting moon
to the rising sun
he would tear off tunes of SixtyOne
and he blew
Blew on his bugleeoo

Each time he blew
on his bugleeoo
when he let out,
the neighbors used to shout,
you can't shut him up
you can't shut him up
he blew on his bugleeoo
All night from out of his flat
Ratatatat
came notes so blue
but still he blew
ev'rything that he knew
He used to play
Columbia of the ocean
how very blue,
from the setting moon
to the rising sun
he would tear off tunes of SixtyOne
and he blew
Blew on his bugleeoo..
