The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He was a famous trumpet man
From out 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.
He's blowin' reveille.
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy
Of company B.
Oh, you can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said, love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
Hey sister, go sister, soul sister, flow sister
Gichie, gichie, ya ya dada (hey hey hey)
Gichie, gichie, ya ya here (here)
Mocha chocalata ya ya (oh yeah)
Creole lady marmalade
Dubidap by umbap dubidap

Umbap dubidap
And now it's time for a breakdown
Never gonna get it
Never gonna get it
Never gonna get it
Never gonna get it
Never gonna get it
Never gonna get it
Never gonna get it
Ohhhh
Never gonna get it
Never gonna get it
Never gonna get it
Never gonna get it
Never gonna get it
Never gonna get it
Never gonna get it
Never get it
