Did We Do It?

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!
