Stiff Upper Lip Chords

I don't think anyone can tell

I didn't get a wink of sleep last night

So now I feel like hell

But when I checked the mirror, I looked alright

I don't think anyone can see

When I've got my game face on

The road I'm travelling, it's unravelling

But there's no sign of anything wrong

I just keep it all buttoned up

I'm so good at concealing

You can ask me whatever you like

Except how I'm feeling

Isn't this the perfect English way?

You just get a grip

And you get on with your day

With a stiff upper lip

I don't think anyone can tell

My drinking's gone through the ceiling

But my mind is as clear as a bell

It just helps to numb the feeling

So I just keep it all wrapped up tight

So there's nothing revealing

I'm sure as kids we were taught it right

Not to show any feeling

You see I am an Englishman

Ta-ra and tootle-pip

I'll manage the best I can

With a stiff upper lip

Don't call the doctor

Don't call your mama; don't call a shrink

Take my advice, boys don't cry

In fact, it's best not to think

I just keep it all buttoned up

I'm so good at concealing

You can ask me whatever you like

Except how I'm feeling

You see I am an Englishman

Ta-ra and tootle-pip

I'll manage the best I can

With a stiff upper lip
