Chin Up! Cheerio! Carry On!

lyrics by E.Y. Harburg and Ralph Freed, music by Burton Lane, performed by Judy Garland, St. Luke's Episcopal Church Choristers, and MGM Studio Chorus (1941)


    From the dark cafes of Paris
    To the streets of Amsterdam
    From the homes of old Vienna
    To the shores of Uncle Sam
    Wherever freedom's hope is true
    Each heart cries out to you:

    Don't give up, Tommy Atkins,
    Be a stout fella,
    Chin up! Cheerio! Carry on!
    Keep a stiff upper lip
    When you're in doubt, fella,
    Chin up! Cheerio! Carry on!

    Oh the sun's sure to smile
    On your tight little isle,
    So hang on to your wits
    And you'll turn the blitz on Fritz,
    There's a whole world behind you
    Shoutin' "stout fella!"
    Chin up! Cheerio! Carry on!
