Operation Mincemeat the Musical - Bevan's Update Lyrics

The song is written by David Cumming, Felix Hagan, Natasha Hodgson, and Zoë Roberts.

We've just received an intercept
Of news from the Reich  
It seems that Hitler
And his boys are getting ready to strike  
And if they trap us in Africa
Then our plans get scrapped  
So we need to get busy hitting Sicily stat.  
The invasion date is set,  
We've got to prep,  
We’ve got to step up our attempts
To lessen pressure,
Eliminate the threat  
To find a way to get his men redeployed  
If we don't act soon our boys will be destroyed  
We have a plan in place to dodge defeat  
A bit of misinformation
We call Operation Mincemeat  
The plan is underway  
The team are keen to say they’re resolute  
We'll absolutely get the good news any day  
Stressed? Of course, I’m stressed  
We don’t know if they’ve found him yet  
Oh god, I’m feeling ill  
Monty, where the hell is Bill?  
Charles relax  
I’ll see us through
Or my name's not Ewen Montagu  
Charles you can trust me as you know  
You have your orders, now go
