Because the way it's supposed to be pronounced just doesn't gel with the song. It sounds really awkward if you put the stress on the second syllable. I don't think there's a deeper meaning behind that.
What's more interesting is why he pronounces 'reveille' as 'reverie', thus changing the entire meaning of the word. I think it was done deliberately.
