George Gershwin — Stiff Upper Lip

(Verse) 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 (Chorus 1) 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 (Chorus 2) 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 cry, "What's this? 'Allo 'allo 'allo 'allo 'allo." Stiff upper lip! Stout fella! With a derring-do Sober or blotto This is your motto: Keep muddling through
