Me And My Shadow

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

We're closer than pages that stick in a book (me and my shadow)

We're closer than ripples that play in a brook

Wherever you find him, you'll find me, just look (strolling down the avenue)

Closer than a miser or the bloodhounds to Liza me

We're closer than smog when it clings to L.A. (me and my shadow)

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!

A happy New Year!

And now to repeat what I said at the start (me and my shadow)

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 a we-wow-whee! (Here comes the party!)

For my shadow and me, me, me!

Say Frank?

What is it, Sam?

Would you do me a favor?

What do you want now?

Would you mind just taking it 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 (yeah)

Life is gonna be a we-wow-whee! (Wow!)

For my shadow and me, me, me!

Frank?

Oh, forget it Sam

Alright
