Like the wallpaper sticks to the wall Like the seashore clings to the sea Like you´ll never get rid of your shadow Frank, you´ll never get rid of me
Let all the others fight and fuss Whatever happens, we´ve got us.
Me and my shadow We´re closer than pages that stick in a book We´re closer than ripples that play in a brook Strolling down the avenue Wherever you find him, you´ll find me, just look Closer than a miser or the bloodhound´s to Liza
Me and my shadow We´re closer than smog when it clings to L.A. We´re closer than Bobby is to J.F.K. Not a soul can bust this team in two We stick together like glue
And when it´s sleeping time That´s when we rise We start to swing Swing to the skies Our clocks don´t chime What a surprise They ring-a-ding-ding! Happy New Year!
Me and my shadow And now to repeat what I said at the start
They´ll need a large crowbar to break us apart We´re alone but far from blue
Before we get finished, we´ll make the town roar We´ll make all the late spots, and then a few more We´ll wind up at Jilly´s right after Toot´s Shore Life is gonna be we-wow-whee! (Here comes the party!) For my shadow and me!
Say Frank? What is it, Sam? Do me a favor? What do you want, now? Would you mind taking it, just one more time? From the top?
No! From the ending! Wonderful!
And while we are swinging, to mention a few We´ll drop in at Danny´s, The Little Club too But wind up at Jilly´s, whatever we do Life is gonna be we-wow-whee! (Wow!) For my shadow and me!
