when quite accidentally
a hero who sneezed abruptly seized
retreat and reversed it to victory.
His Medal of Honor pleased and thrilled
his proud little family group.
While pinning it on, some blood was spilled,
and so it was planned that he command F Troop.
Where Indian fights are colorful sights,
and nobody takes a lickin'.
Where paleface and redskin
both turn chicken.
When drilling and fighting get them down,
they know their morale can't droop
as long as they all relax in town
before they resume with a bang and a boom. [[Title Drop|F Troop!]]'' }}
Line 59:
* [[Evil Twin]]: Kid Vicious, the outlaw who happens to resemble Captain Parmenter who shows up in "Wilton the Kid".
* [[Expository Theme Tune]]

Line 89 ⟶ 90:
* [[Punch Clock Villain]]: Literally, with the Hekawis. They have no time for villainy when they're busy making souvenirs for O'Rourke to sell (at a 50% cut) and distilling whisky for the town saloon.
* [[Punny Name]]: This is how the Hekawi tribe got their name:

(Which is based on an old, much less TV-friendly version of the same joke involving the Fukawi Indians.) }}
* [[Rambling Old Man Monologue]]: Often attempted by Private Duffy, when he gets going on his tales of the Alamo. He's usually interrupted.
