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 foryou're from stoke!
Robbie: I dunno but I can't stop here pally

Like the wallpaper sticks to the wall
Like the c sharp clings to the c
Like you'll never get rid of your shadow
You'll never get rid of me

Let all the others fight and fuss
Whatever happenswe've got us.

[me and my shadow]
We're closer than pages that stick in a book
We're closer than ripples that flow in a brook
[strolling down the avenue]
Wherever you find himyou'll find mejust look
Closer than a miser or the bloodhounds to liza

Me and my shadow
We're closer than smog to all of l.a.
We're closer than ricky to confessing he's gay? ?
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
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 finishedwe'll make the town roar
We'll hit a few late spotsand then a few more
We'll wind up at stringy's and maybe ? show
Life is gonna be we-wow-whee!
For my shadow and me!

[spoken]
Jonathon: can we do that again
Robbie: noI'm too tired
Jonathon: please rob
Robbie: noI'm swung out
Jonathon: I'll give you some money
Robbie: I don't need money
Jonathon: what about a cup of tea
Robbie: not thirsty
Jonathon: I'll won't tell anyone you're gay.
(both laugh)

Before we get finishedwe'll make the town roar
We'll hit all the late spotsand then a few more
We'll wind up at stringy's and maybe ? show
Life is gonna be we-wow-whee!
For my shadow and me!
