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 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
