Did We Do It? Lyrics by SpitLip

Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical (Original Cast Recording)

2023

[MONTAGU, spoken]
But did we do it, Johnny?
Did we do it?
[BEVAN, spoken]
We did it
[The cast exclaims with joy.]
[MONTAGU, spoken]
Oh, I knew it!
[BEVAN, spoken]
As much as I hate to admit it, Montagu—
[MONTAGU, spoken]
Oh, I'm a genius!
[JEAN, spoken]
Oh, here we go!
[CHARLES, spoken]
I can't believe this!
[HESTER, spoken]
I need a gin!
[BEVAN, spoken]
Sicily is ours for the taking
[MONTAGU, spoken]
Charles, congratulations!
Everyone, in fact
[HESTER, spoken]
God, that's...
[COMPANY, spoken]
Brilliant!
[CHARLES, COMPANY & MONTAGU]
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!
Oh, Charlie, some were born to follow–
Don't you say it!
[MONTAGU & COMPANY]
Listen here, my good man (God, that's brilliant)
We're going to be heroes (Really brilliant)
So who gives a damn (God, that's brilliant)
If we broke a few rules? (Really brilliant)
Hitler fell for our sham (God, that's brilliant)
And we've nothing to fear, so (Really brilliant)
Come celebrate how (God, that's brilliant)
We played the Nazis for fools (Really brilliant)
[CHARLES, COMPANY & MONTAGU]
But what happens then? (God, that's brilliant)
Our gamble was crazy! (Really brilliant)
When people find out— (God, that's brilliant)
Charles, the people will cheer (Really brilliant)
For the marvellous men (God, that's brilliant)
And dependable ladies (Really brilliant)
They'll talk about Operation Mincemeat for years
(God, that's brilliant)
Wait and see, Charles!
[BEVAN, spoken]
Yes, Mr Churchill, sir, I'm pleased to report that the Allied invasion of Sicily was a success
You see:
(sung)
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 arrived
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
[MONTAGU, spoken]
You see, Charles?
(sung)
'Cause when you write the book
[BEVAN]
I never doubted them
[MONTAGU & COMPANY]
My boy, you're off the hook
[BEVAN]
My best and boldest men
[MONTAGU & COMPANY]
The lies get hidden
Sins forgiven
All your misdeeds
Fade from vision
When you write the book
You're off the hook
