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
