Me And My Shadow lyrics

[this song has been entered under frank sinatra as well although it was sung by the two of them]

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-w
