What made Good Queen Bess
such a great success?
What made Wellington do
what he did at Waterloo?
What makes ev'ry 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.
Stiff upper lip! Stout fella!
Carry on, old fluff!
Chin up! Keep muddling through!
Stiff upper lip! Stout fella!
When the going's rough,
pip-pip to old man trouble
and a toodle-oo too!
Carry on through thick and thin
if you feel you're in the right.
Does the fighting spirit win?
Quite, quite, quite, quite, quite!
Stiff upper lip! Stout fella!
When you're in a stew,
sober or blotto,
this is your motto:
Keep muddling through.
Stiff upper lip! Stout fella!
Carry on, old bean!
Chin up! Keep muddling through!
Stiff upper lip! Stout fella!
Dash it all, I mean,
pip-pip to old man trouble
and a toodle-oo too!
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!"
Stiff upper lip! Stout fella!
When you're in a stew,
sober or blotto,
this is your motto:
Keep muddling through. |
