stiff upper lip

fitzgerald, ella

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

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 toodly-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 the stew

sober or blotto

this is your motto

keep muddling through

when a bounder starts to hiss

you must give him blow for blow

make the blighter say

what's this?
