Writer(s): dave dreyer - al jolson - billy rose<br><br>(this is the duet with sammy davis, jr.)<br><br>Like the wallpaper sticks to the wall<br>Like the seashore clings to the sea<br>Like you'll never get rid of your shadow<br>Frank, you'll never get rid of me<br><br>Let all the others fight and fuss<br>Whatever happens, we've got us.<br><br>Me and my shadow<br>We're closer than pages that stick in a book<br>We're closer than ripples that play in a brook<br>Strolling down the avenue<br>Wherever you find him, you'll find me, just look<br>Closer than a miser or the bloodhound's ? ? ? ? ? <br><br>Me and my shadow<br>We're closer than smog when it clings to l.a.<br>We're closer than bobby is to j.f.k.<br>Not a soul can bust this team in two<br>We stick together like glue<br><br>And when it's sleeping time<br>That's when we rise<br>We start to swing<br>Swing to the skies<br>Our clocks don't chime<br>What a surprise<br>They ring-a-ding-ding!<br>Happy new year!<br><br>Me and my shadow<br>And now to repeat what I said at the start<br>They'll need a large crowbar to break us apart<br>We're alone but far from blue<br><br>Before we get finished, we'll make the town roar<br>We'll make all the late spots, and then a few more<br>We'll wind up at jilly's right after toot's shore<br>Life is gonna be we-wow-whee!<br>(here comes the party!)<br>For my shadow and me!<br><br>Say frank? <br>What is it, sam? <br>Do me a favor? <br>What do you want, now? <br>Would you mind taking it, just one more time? <br>From the top? <br>No! from the ending!<br>Wonderful!<br><br>And while we are swinging, to mention a few<br>We'll drop in at danny's, the little club too<br>But wind up at jilly's, whatever we do<br>Life is gonna be we-wow-whee!<br>(wow!)<br>For my shadow and me!<br><br>Frank? <br>Oh, forget it sam.
