I'm on guard again but unprepared to fend for myself in a battle
You won't tell me why the shrubbery moves
Or why there always has to be subterfusion
You won't 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 withdrawWhat was peace is now a grand coup detante
The Purple Heart for valour please
And no heart for you Denise
Reinforcements, reinforcementsI could use a strong rear guard
Reinforcements, reinforcements
First the left flank, then the right
I'd sooner work the PX tonightYou intercept my S.O.S in order that no
News of my distress will ever reach the
Homefront and about my camoflage,
Well, it didn't work on you ... in fact most
Things they tell recruits never seem to doRaise my rank if I should last
Another night so tortuous
Reinforcements, reinforcements
I don't want a tete
Reinforcements, reinforcements
Lets reach accord, and ink a pact
Then, pleace dismiss your regimentReinforcements, 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 ...
