Half a Sixpence the Musical - Half a Sixpence Lyrics
ARTHUR: (spoken)
See, I got this sixpence
And I managed to file it in alf. Done it this mornin
ANN:
Well, whatcha do that for? It's no good if it's broke!
ARTHUR:
It's a token
ANN:
What's a token?
ARTHUR:
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:
That's silly
ARTHUR:
No, it ain't
(sung)
When sweet'earts 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:
Still, half a sixpence
Is better than a half a penny
Is better than a half a farthing
Is better than none
ARTHUR:
Think 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!
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. Pornick. Morning, Ms. Evan
ARTHUR, MR. PORNIC, MS. EVAN: (spoken)
Morning, Mr. Shalford!
