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 ...
