Lyrics:

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 isnt roast beef, or ale, or home, or mother

Its 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 goings rough

Pip pip to old man trouble

And a toodly-oo too



Carry on through thick and thin

If you feel youre in the right

Does the fighting spirit win?

Quite, quite, quite, quite, quite



Stiff upper lip, stout fella

When youre 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, 'whats this?

`ullo, `ullo, `ullo, `ullo, `ullo'



Stiff upper lip, stout fella

When youre in the stew

Sober or blotto, this is your motto

Keep muddling through



Keep muddling through

Keep muddling through

Keep muddling through
