Stiff Upper Lip - Ella Fitzgerald

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 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

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
