Reinforcements |
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 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 |
