Loading...

[arthur, spoken]
see, i got this sixpence and i managed to file it in ‘alf. done it this morning

[ann, spoken]
well whatcha do that for? it’s no good if it’s broke!

[arthur, spoken]
it’s a token

[ann, spoken]
wh-ssa token?

[arthur, spoken]
well, you keep half, and i’ll keep half. and when we’re separated, you look at your ‘alf and i’ll look at mine, see. and then we think about each other

[ann, spoken]
that’s silly

[arthur, spoken]
no it ain’t

(sung)
when sweethearts are goin’ steady
and walkin’ arm in arm
they sometimes swap these little gifts
like a ring or a lucky charm
i’ve ‘eard that ‘alf a sovereign
is a fing they use a lot
but sixpence is the only fing i’ve got

[ann, sung]
still, half a sixpence
is better than a half a penny
is better than a half a farthing
is better than none

[arthur]
fink of it like this

[ann]
think of it like this

[arthur]
if it’s me you miss

[ann]
if it’s me you miss

[arthur]
when i’m miles away

[ann]
when you’re miles away

[arthur]
touch it every day

[ann]
yes, ev’ry day

[arthur]
then maybe that ‘alf a sixpence
will make you fink arthur kipps is
the kind of an ‘alf whose lips is
the kind you might kiss!

[ann]
urgh!

[arthur]
when i’m back with you

[ann]
when i’m back with you

[arthur]
one and one make two

[ann]
one and one make two

[arthur]
and likewise two half sixpences

[arthur, ann]
go together like this

[man, spoken]
arthur! come on! you’re gonna miss your train! and mind you behave proper when you get there!

[aunt susan, spoken]
arthur’s always proper, aren’t you, arthur?

[arthur, spoken]
course i am, auntie. oh, well i’d better go!

[ann, spoken]
oh, well, don’t forget your banjo!

[arthur, spoken]
oh, don’t forget me!

[ann, spoken]
course not, artie. we’re sweet’earts now, aren’t we?

[mr. shalford, spoken]
morning, mr. carshot. morning, mr. pierce

[mr. calshot, mr. pierce]
morning, mr. shalford!

[mr. shalford, spoken]
morning, mr. kipps. morning, mr. p-rnick. morning, ms. evan

[arthur, mr. p-rnic, ms. evan, spoken]
morning, mr. shalford!
