Reinforcements

I'm on guard again but unprepared to fend for myself in a battle

You wont tell me why the shrubbery moves

Or why there always has to be subterfusion

You wont even say "at ease"

After waging a costly siege

When a potentate ain't so potent in his state

He summons help fast

Unilaterally I withdraw

What was peace is now a grand coup d'etat

The Purple Heart for valour please

And no heart for you Denise

Reinforcements, reinforcements

I could use a strong rear guard

Reinforcements, reinforcements

First the left flank, then the right

I'd sooner work the PX tonight

Spoken: You intercept my S.O.S in order that no

News of my distress will ever reach the

Homefront and about my camouflage,

Well, it didn't work on you ... in fact most

Things they tell recruits never seem to do

Raise my rank if I should last another night so tortuous

Reinforcements, reinforcements

I don't want a tete-a-tete

Reinforcements, reinforcements

Let's reach accord, and ink a pact

Then, please dismiss your regiment

Reinforcements, reinforcements

I could use a strong rear guard

Reinforcements, reinforcements

I could use a strong rear guard

Reinforcements, reinforcements

I could use a strong rear guard

Reinforcements, reinforcements

Reinforcements, reinforcements

(Reinforcements, reinforcements)
