But did we do it Johnny?
Did we do it?
We did it!
Oh I knew it!
As much as I hate to admit it Montagu
Oh I'm a genius!
Oh here we go
I can't believe this
I need a gin
Sicily is our for the taking
Charles, congratulations!
Everyone in fact!
God that's
Brilliant!
I can't believe they bought it (God that's brilliant!)
Oh, Charlie don't complain (Really brilliant!)
It seems our Bill succeeded (God that's brilliant!)
On his little trip to Spain (Really brilliant!)
But we gambled so much on it (God that's brilliant!)
My God, are we insane? (Really brilliant!)
We bet the whole war on a stolen corpse (God that's brilliant!)
Quite right, where's that champagne? (Really brilliant!)
Monty! Our men could have been massacred!
If we did not succeed
Look, Charlie, some were born to follow
Don't you say it!
Listen here my good man
We're going to be heroes (God that's brilliant!)
So who gives a damn (Really brilliant!)
If we broke a few rules (God that's brilliant!)
Hitler fell for our sham! (Really brilliant!)
And we've nothing to fear so (God that's brilliant!)
Come celebrate (Really brilliant!)
How we played the Nazis for fools (God that's brilliant!)
But what happens then? (Really brilliant!)
Our gamble was crazy (God that's brilliant!)
When people find out (Really brilliant!)
Charles the people will cheer (God that's brilliant!)
For the marvellous men (Really brilliant!)
And dependable ladies (God that's brilliant!)
They'll talk about (Really brilliant!)
Operation Mincemeat for years (God that's brilliant!)
Wait and see Charles!
Yes Mr Churchill Sir
I'm pleased to report that the Allied invasion of Sicily was a success
You see
Adolf believed all the lies that we spread
Using a dead man's documents
We turned his head
We forced their forces to fly
So when our boys arrive
There was minimal resistance
The majority survived on both sides
The lack of loss was spectacular
And Operation Mincemeat avoided a massacre
So Montagu and Cholmondeley
For saving our nation
I'm awarding them the highest military commendations
You see Charles!
'Cos when you write the book
I never doubted them
My boy, you're off the hook
My best and boldest men
The lies get hidden, sins forgiven
All your misdeeds fade from vision
When you write the book you're off the hook!
