Edit By: 216.73.216.45

Writer(s): dave dreyer - al jolson - billy rose

(this is the duet with sammy davis, jr.)

Like the wallpaper sticks to the wall
Like the seashore clings to the sea
Like youll never get rid of your shadow
Frank, youll never get rid of me

Let all the others fight and fuss
Whatever happens, weve got us.

Me and my shadow
Were closer than pages that stick in a book
Were closer than ripples that play in a brook
Strolling down the avenue
Wherever you find him, youll find me, just look
Closer than a miser or the bloodhounds ? ? ? ? ?

Me and my shadow
Were closer than smog when it clings to l.a.
Were closer than bobby is to j.f.k.
Not a soul can bust this team in two
We stick together like glue

And when its sleeping time
Thats when we rise
We start to swing
Swing to the skies
Our clocks dont 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
Theyll need a large crowbar to break us apart
Were alone but far from blue

Before we get finished, well make the town roar
Well make all the late spots, and then a few more
Well wind up at jillys right after toots 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
Well drop in at dannys, the little club too
But wind up at jillys, whatever we do
Life is gonna be we-wow-whee!
(wow!)
For my shadow and me!

Frank?
Oh, forget it sam.
