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 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!
