Me and my shadow (duet with jonathan wilkes) Written by dave dreyeral jolson and billy rose [spoken] Robbie: (american accent) johnny and robbie Jonathon: what you talking like that foryouв're from stoke! Robbie: I dunno but I canв't stop here pally Like the wallpaper sticks to the wall Like the c sharp clings to the c Like youв'll never get rid of your shadow Youв'll never get rid of me Let all the others fight and fuss Whatever happensweв've got us. [me and my shadow] Weв're closer than pages that stick in a book Weв're closer than ripples that flow in a brook [strolling down the avenue] Wherever you find himyouв'll find mejust look Closer than a miser or the bloodhounds to liza Me and my shadow Weв're closer than smog to all of l.a. Weв're closer than ricky to confessing heв's gay? ? Not a soul can bust this team in two We stick together like glue And when itв's sleeping time Thatв's when we rise We start to swing Our clocks donв'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 Theyв'll need a large crowbar to break us apart Weв're alone but far from blue Before we get finishedweв'll make the town roar Weв'll hit a few late spotsand then a few more Weв'll wind up at stringyв's and maybe ? show Life is gonna be we-wow-whee! For my shadow and me! [spoken] Jonathon: can we do that again Robbie: noIв'm too tired Jonathon: please rob Robbie: noIв'm swung out Jonathon: Iв'll give you some money Robbie: I donв't need money Jonathon: what about a cup of tea Robbie: not thirsty Jonathon: Iв'll wonв't tell anyone youв're gay. (both laugh) Before we get finishedweв'll make the town roar Weв'll hit all the late spotsand then a few more Weв'll wind up at stringyв's and maybe ? show Life is gonna be we-wow-whee! For my shadow and me!
