operation mincemeat - making a man كلمات الأغنية

[montagu]
a mind that is stronger than iron
that shines like a light in the dark
and a body that could wrestle a lion
and then deal out a witty remark
he has so very many astounding attributes

[jean]
he’s n0ble and courageous

[charles]
he looks excellent in suits

[montagu]
yes!
a seamless blend of dreaminess

[hester]
experience

[charles]
and g_nius

[montagu]
these are the ingredients you need
when you’re making a man
making a hero
quick as we can
the nation’s in need
of a marvellous man
a dependable dreamboat
a shining example of what humans can be
so we’re making a man
okay!
step one, thinking caps on
gotta pull a fast one, fast on the hun
gotta find a corpse

[jean, spoken]
a dead man?

[montagu]
of course!

[charles]
can we gather a cadaver from the local morgue?

[montagu]
charles, this is a secret mission
we can’t go raising any suspicion
luckily, i know the perfect man to help us hatch this plan

[c_ckney chorus]
welcome to london!
we’re c_ckneys
and this is what c_ckneys wear

bodies!
what d’you know about bodies?
[montagu, spoken]
nothing at all!

[c_ckney chorus]
well if you need information about expiration
there’s only one man that you should call
he knows the ropes, he knows the knives
he knows all ways of ending lives
it’s spilsbury, spilsbury
introducing bernard spilsbury

[spilsbury & c_ckney chorus]
so you say you want the perfect body (spilsbury)
i’ve got every kind that you could need (sir bernard spilsbury)
old ladies to adolescents
in all stages of putrescence
so come inside and see what you can see
so don’t delay or they’ll decay
come on, fellas, step this way
and feast your eyes on all my lovely bodies (spilsbury)
take a look, i’ve quite the repertoire (sir bernard spilsbury)
from grandads to old biddies
young men to little kiddies
you want homicide? or suicide?
or can’t decide? well, come inside and see!
[charles, spoken]
monty, make it stop!

[spilsbury]
mr roberts, choked on a yoghurt
mr beezles, mauled by weasels
if you’re after buckets of gore
here’s brian, he’s basically a lung in a drawer

[company, spoken]
no!

[spilsbury, spoken]
it’s just brian

[montagu]
bernard, we need a chap who’s fresh
of military age with undamaged flesh

[charles]
so if the spanish do an autopsy
they certify him ‘drowned at sea’

[spilsbury & c_ckney chorus]
have no fear, i’ll find your perfect body (spilsbury)
i get skiploads of these stiffs each and every day (sir bernard spilsbury)
i’ll find your dear departed
that we need to get things started
or my name isn’t bernard spilsbury
o.b.e
i’ll find you your man

[montagu]
step two, leave a trail of clues
pack a wallet with receipts so that we can prove
that our bill had a life, a man about town
who splashed his cash then drowned

[jean]
and they will find that he dined
at the hottest joints with the coolest cats
swingin’ spots with the hotsy_tots
the nightlife’s such a thrill
and they will all see our boy
he had such a taste for finery

[charles]
he’s dressed to impress

[jean]
wouldn’t settle for less

[dressmaker, spoken]
34 round the chest?

[company]
only the best for bill

[c_ckney, spoken]
ha’penny for me, guv’nor?

[montagu, spoken]
what century are you in?

[c_ckney, spoken]
yay!

[montagu]
step three, send bill to sea

[charles]
get him all the way to spain in secrecy
so he can wash ashore and then win us the war

[montagu]
charles, my g_nius, take the floor
(spoken)
now it’s a good plan, charles, but it’s got to be approved by every fusty old admiral in this building. good luck!

[charles, spoken]
admirals, may i present my idea for the world’s first human thermos

[charles & admirals]
our bill will sail by submarine
in a giant thermos, a corpse canteen
vacuum packed and airtight through and through
(chop chop!
we’ve got a lot to do)
suck out the oxygen so bill won’t rot (what?)
add dry ice and he won’t get hot
when he’s on his quest, it’s only the best for bill

[admiral one]
well, what’s it made of?

[charles]
stainless steel

[admiral two]
won’t it smell?

[charles]
well, that’s why it’s sealed

[admiral three]
what about the crew, won’t they know there’s a corpse aboard?

[admiral one, spoken]
that’s a bl__dy good question

[admiral two, spoken]
good point

[admiral three, spoken]
i forgot what i said

[jean]
we could say that it’s equipment
it’s a top secret shipment
it’s need_to_know

[charles]
jean, that is brilliant!

[admiral one]
i’m quite impressed

[company]
only the best for bill

[charles, spoken]
monty, the map with the submarine’s course to huelva on it, have you seen it?

[montagu, spoken]
what?

[charles, spoken]
i was sure that i put it—
well, the whole file is missing

[montagu, spoken]
it’ll turn up

[charles, spoken]
but–

[montagu, spoken]
the crew have their orders
they’re going to spain, charles. it’s not hard
you turn left at france, then it’s straight on until you hear maracas!

[charles, spoken]
monty, that file is confidential
if we’ve lost it, we could get into serious trouble!

[montagu, sung & charles, spoken]
charlie, don’t be so narrow_minded (but i don’t think it’s narrow_minded)
stop fretting about guidelines and rules (this is important, monty)
now remember we’re his majesty’s finest (but i don’t see what it’s got to do–)
and regulations are for cowards and fools

[charles, sung]
but monty, we’re responsible for how this thing is done

[montagu]
if we claim the final victory, how cares? just how we won
for when you write the book
my boy, you’re off the hook
so just be a man
cos we’re making a hero

[montagu & company]
quick as we can
the nation’s in need
of a marvellous man
a dependable dreamboat
a shining example of what humans can be
making a man

[montagu, spoken]
we’re doing well, charles, but we still don’t have that d_mn body

[charles, spoken]
yes, i’m aware of that fact, monty

[montagu, spoken]
i’ll call spilsbury

[charles, spoken]
no! no, please, please don’t make me see that man again

[montagu, spoken]
he can’t get you, you know?

[charles, spoken]
horrible, wet hands!

[montagu, spoken]
this is the most secure building in england, alright?
there’s no way he can find us here

[spilsbury & company]
lads, look here, i’ve found your perfect body (spilsbury)
look what fate has landed in our laps (sir bernard spilsbury)
this homeless chap in croydon
accidentally ate rat poison
the perfect worm to bait our little trap

[montagu, spoken]
he’s perfect

[charles]
so he didn’t drown?

[spilsbury]
don’t worry about it!

[charles]
won’t they suspect?

[spilsbury]
ha! i doubt it
foreigners aren’t great coroners, see
and no_one in spain is as clever as me
i’ve found your man, i’ve saved the day
so fetch my fee and i’ll be on my way

[montagu, spoken]
really makes you wonder about the security of the building, doesn’t it?

[hester, spoken]
sirs, i’ve finished your documentation. our pilot officially exists

[montagu, spoken]
and the good news is we have a body!

[hester, spoken]
you’ve got a body?

[montagu, spoken]
cooling in the freezer as we speak

[hester, spoken]
and who was he?

[montagu, spoken]
oh well, this is the best part

[charles, spoken]
monty–

[montagu, spoken]
he was just some tramp

[hester, spoken]
excuse me?

[jean, spoken]
monty!

[montagu, spoken]
spilsbury got him off the street
no family, no_one to raise the alarm when he’s gone
it’s perfect!

[bevan, spoken]
where is montagu?

[montagu, spoken]
oh good

[bevan, spoken]
i did not hand you his majesty’s cheque book so that you could spend hundreds of pounds on jewellery, c_cktails, theatre tickets—

[montagu, spoken]
the things i do for this country

[bevan, spoken]
you are out of control

[montagu, spoken]
johnny, we need the receipts for bill’s wallet, alright?

[bevan]
do you really think you’re working independently?
or that your little team’s the only thing that’s under me?
the notion that you’re more than a drop in the ocean
of the hundred plans i have in motion is enough to earn demotion
montagu, this war is bigger than you

[montagu]
please stop acting like i don’t know what to do

[bevan]
you’re making a mockery of this whole d_mn operation

[montagu]
you are making a mess of every decision that you’re making

[bevan]
you’re making a spectacle

[montagu]
well, you’re making it difficult to be sensible

[bevan]
you’re making it about you ’cause you’re bl__dy egotistical

[company]
oh my god

[montagu, spoken]
john, wait. just let me explain. picture the scene
(sung)
a bachelor residing in oval

[jean]
here’s his lease agreement

[montagu]
soon to make his way up the aisle

[charles]
they’ll tie the knot next summer

[montagu]
and to celebrate his recent betrothal

[jean]
a sparkling diamond ring

[montagu]
they spent the night in london in style

[charles]
one night on the town

[montagu]
and he took his girl to dinner
and the latest west end show

[jean]
she said he looked so handsome
in his suit from savile row

[montagu]
one last night of celebration
before he leaves to save this nation

[charles]
delivering the plans of our sardinian invasion

[hester]
with a never_ending paper trail

[montagu]
a cover story that can’t fail
we made him up, then made his life come true
believe in bill and they’ll believe him too
we’ve made you a man
(spoken)
so, what do you think?

[bevan, spoken]
it’s… good. it’s believable
but i do think it’s missing one thing

[montagu, spoken]
what?

[bevan, spoken]
he needs to be carrying a letter from his fiancée, from the girl that he loves. soldiers don’t go off to war without a… reminder of why they’re fighting in the first place

[montagu]
quite right. i like it
(sung)
and they’ll see it there in writing
that our bill, he went down fighting
for his love, his life and his democracy

[company]
so we’re making a man
making a hero
quick as we can
the nation’s in need
of a marvellous man
a dependable dreamboat
a shining example of what humans can be

god, that’s brilliant
really brilliant
god, that’s brilliant
they’ll never see it coming
god, that’s brilliant
really brilliant
god, that’s brilliant
so daring and so cunning
a seamless blend of dreaminess
experience and g_nius
these are the ingredients you need
when you’re making a man
