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 (Instrumental 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" Stiff upper lip, stout fella When you're in the stew Sober or blotto, this is your motto Keep muddling through Keep muddling through Keep muddling through Keep muddling through
