Reinforcements lyrics

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 detant

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

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

news of my distress will ever reach the

homefront and about my camoflage,

well, it didnt 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 dont want a te-ta-tete

Reinforcements, reinforcements

Lets reach accord, and ink a pact

Then, pleace 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 ...
