Lyrics
See, I got this sixpence, and I managed
To file it in half. Done it this morning
Well, what'd you do that for? It's no good if it's broke
It's a token
What's a token?
Well, you keep half and I'll keep half. And when
We're separated, you look at your half and I'll look
At mine, see? And then we think about each other
That's silly
No, it ain't
(Sung)
When sweethearts are going steady
And walking arm in arm
They sometimes swap these little gifts
Like a ring or a lucky charm
I've heard that half a sovereign
Is a thing they use a lot
But sixpence is the only thing I've got
Still, half a sixpence
Is better than half a penny
Is better than half a farthing
Is better than none
Think of it like this
Think of it like this
If it's me you miss
If it's me you miss
When I'm miles away
When you're miles away
Touch it every day
Yes, every day
Then maybe that half a sixpence
Will make you think half a Kipps is
The kind of an half whose lips is
The kind you might kiss
Ugh
When I'm back with you
When I'm back with you
One and one make two
One and one make two
And likewise two half-sixpences
Go together like this
Arthur, come on! You're going to miss your train!
And mind you behave proper when you get there
Arthur's always proper. Aren't you, Arthur?
Course I am, Aunty. Oh, well, I'd better go
Oh, well, don't forget your banjo!
Oh, don't forget me!
Course not, Aunty! We're sweethearts now, aren't we?
