When the world is such a mess
It's hard not to feel depressed
Getting stressed by what may come in time
But life is much more pleasant
When you're living in the present
So let's raise another glass and feel sublime
For come the dawn our plan might fall to bits
When Adolf get's his claws in it
And yes we broke the law a bit that's right
But at least until tomorrow comes
Why not believe that we have won
And maybe have a little fun
Charlie let's live it up tonight
So just for tonight let's be winners
Who finally did something right
Our plan is signed sealed delivered
And tomorrow it could all go wrong
So Charlie let's live it up tonight
But Monty what if the sub gets hit
Or what if they realise that our documents
Oh what if they realise that our documents
Oh Charlie why do all this fretting
Read the room boy clock the setting
It's no life if you're forgetting to live
I find it helps me feel prepared
To what Just dwell on being scared
I say to hell with that hot air man
And give yourself some credit
Where there's credit due
Who made this plan
I did
Yes you
So celebrate your greatness grab a gin
You're too full of brains a plenty
For your glass to feel half empty
So let's get another bottle
Fill the damn thing to the brim
Just for tonight be a hero
I'm not sure that's me
Who might have beaten the Reich
I'm just a bug boy you see
With a fantastical scheme
So Charles
But tomorrow it could tumble down
Exactly
Let's live it up tonight
Five degrees down keep 180 feet
Captain this uh canister Sir
You mean the weather equipment Lieutenant
Oh aye come on Captain
Since when did we become underwater postmen
We have our orders
What was that
We've registered a depth charge Sir
Enemy sub incoming
Change course Captain
Captain
It's your moment let's embrace it
Victory's so close we can taste it
And some sweet release is what the people need
Trust me Charles
There's no point living
If we cannot go down swinging
Drop your bombs we're off to dance until we bleed
Excuse me I'm meant to meet my brother here
The great artiste owes me a beer
He's broke I don't know how his films get made
With my comrades overseas
I find that money grows on trees
Just sell a secret and you'll see
That loose lips will get you paid
Brother have you got something for me
Yes this will make us rich
But it's off the books
Let's take a look
Monty
The moment's not quite right
Charlie my boy grab each small flash of joy
There's disaster ahoy
But tonight
Just for tonight we're the victors
My plan won the war
Who've come to settle the fight
I've socked Adolf on the jaw
He is the man who tricked Hitler
That's right
Tomorrow we will know the score
So everyone let's live it up tonight
Hey
Stay the course
That's insane
Maintaining 180 feet
We need to divert
We can't plough into a fight
For the sake of some delivery job
We don't have a choice
Sir
We're under direct orders
Head straight to Spain and surface
Surface
What the hell is going on
Right we're the best there's no defeating us
Right our charisma and our genius
Right so drink up lets get delirious
Only for tonight
Tomorrow we could die but right now
We're celebrating
Taking a bow
So raise a glass and shout it out loud
Just for tonight we are
He's the strangest weather equipment I've ever seen
And we're just supposed to leave him out there
Those are our instructions
Do we even know his name
Ready to give the order Sir
Aye float him out
Close the main access hatch and then we'll dive
Thank you for your service son
If it's down it's down together
If it's up it's up as one
So sail on boys
Through stormy weather
Soon the journey will be done
If it's down it's down together
If it's up it's up as one
So sail on boys through stormy weather
Soon the journey will be done
Just for tonight we are heroes
Some were born to follow
Who might have beaten the Reich
But I was born to lead
With a fantastical scheme
And so tomorrow we'll make history
So let's live it up yes
Just for tonight we're the victors
Burning with destiny's light
I was born to lead
We're braving danger and death
And yes tomorrow we could all be gone
If a single thing goes wrong
For all we know we don't have long so
Fill 'em up
Let's live it up tonight
Gentlemen we have a problem
Live it up tonight
