(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
