Transcript:
[Side 1:]
[Speaker 1:] This is [...] Barrow, radio recording vocalist at Coventry, is making this voice record at the National Savings Exhibition in Coventry in February 1938. Mr. Barrow, please.

[Barrow:] I would like to sing for you a little poem entitled "I still love to kiss you goodnight":

[singing]
I still love to kiss you goodnight
The thrill of you holding me tight
Grows ever sweeter, the long years between
Since first I kissed you [...]
I still love the touch of your lips
I can't get away from your lips
I know when your hair is snowy white
I'll still love to kiss you goodnight

[Side 2:]
[Speaker 3:] This disk is a souvenir of the National Savings Exhibition held at Coventry in February 1938 and was presented to the person whose voice is recorded on the other side. The exhibition was organized by the Coventry Savings Bank, the Post Office Savings Bank, and the National Savings Committee. At the time of the exhibition there were 145 national savings groups at work in Coventry, in schools, clubs and places of employment. The object of these groups is to help members to save safely, easily and profitably, through the Coventry Savings Bank, the Post Office Savings Bank, and National Savings Certificates.
