Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm enlisting, overseas aid
Need assisting, help with a maid
Get the expert on mademoiselles
He could diffuse any bombshell
If I could only be tough like him
Then I could win my own small battle of the sexes
[Verse 2]
Sgt. Rock is going to help me
Make the girl mine, keep her stood in line
Sgt. Rock is going to help me
Make the girl mine, keep her stood in line
Make the girl mine, wave the victory sign
[Verse 3]
Hey, ha, ha
Hey, ha, ha
Hey, ha, ha
Hey, ha, ha
[Verse 4]
I'm invading territories
Girls are foreign and strange to me
Get the expert at kissing and stuff
While he stays easy when things get rough
If I could only be tough like him
Then I could win my own small battle of the sexes
[Verse 5]
Sgt. Rock is going to help me
Make the girl mine, keep her stood in line
Sgt. Rock is going to help me
Make the girl mine, keep her stood in line
Make the girl mine, wave the victory sign
[Verse 6]
Sometimes relationships don't go as planned
Some girls can make themselves so cold
A no-man's land
[Verse 7]
If I could only be tough like him
Then I could win my own small battle of the sexes
[Verse 8]
Sgt. Rock is going to help me
Make the girl mine, keep her stood in line
Sgt. Rock is going to help me
Make the girl mine, keep her stood in line
[Verse 9]
Sgt. Rock is going to help me
Make the girl mine, keep her stood in line
Sgt. Rock is going to help me
Make the girl mine, keep her stood in line
Make the girl mine, wave the victory sign
[Verse 10]
Hey, ha, ha
Hey, ha, ha
Hey, ha, ha
Hey
