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 bloodhounds 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! | |
Frank? | |
Oh, forget it Sam. |
