george stiles – half a sixpence lyrics
[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!
