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
|
When 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
|
|
SCATTING INTERLUDE
|
|
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
|
|
Keep muddling through
|
Keep muddling through
|
