Lyrics

[Intro] What made good Queen Bess Such a great success? What made Wellington do What he did at Waterloo? What makes every Englishman A fighter through and through? It isn't roast beef or ale or home or mother It's just a little thing they sing to one another [Verse 1] Stiff upper lip, stout fella Carry on, old fluff Chin up, keep muddling through [Verse 2] Stiff upper lip, stout fella When the going's rough Pip-pip to old man trouble and a toodly-oo too [Bridge] Carry on through thick and thin If you feel you're in the right Does the fighting spirit win? Quite, quite, quite, quite, quite [Verse 3] Stiff upper lip, stout fella When you're in the stew Sober or blotto This is your motto Keep muddling through [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] When a bounder starts to hiss You must give him blow for blow Make the blighter say, "What's this? 'Ullo, 'ullo, 'ullo, 'ullo, 'ullo" [Verse 3] Stiff upper lip, stout fella When you're in the stew Sober or blotto This is your motto Keep muddling through [Outro] Keep muddling through Keep muddling through Keep muddling through
