(feat. Jonathan Wilkes)
spoken
Robbie: (american accent) Johnny and Robbie
Jonathon: Youth why you talking like that were from Stoke!
Robbie: I dunno but I can't stop here pally
Like the wallpaper sticks to the wall
Like the seash*re clings to the sea
Like you'll never get rid of your shadow
You'll never get rid of me
Let all the others fight and fuss
Whatever happens, we've got us.
(Me and my shadow)
Closer than pages that stick in a book
We're closer than ripples that play in a brook
(Strolling down the avenue)
Wherever you find him, you'll find me, just look
Closer than a miser or the bloodhounds to Liza
Me and my shadow
Closer than smog is to all of L.A.
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
Oh you think you're so jazz you
Our clocks don't chime
What a surprise
They ring-a-ding-ding!
Happy New Year, Me
(Me and my shadow)
And now to repeat what I said at the start
You'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 hit a few late spots, and then a few more
We'll start out at Stringy's and maybe Groucho
Life is gonna be wow-wow-whee!
For my shadow and me!
spoken
Jonathon: Can we do that again
Robbie: No, I'm too tired
Jonathon: Please Rob
Robbie: No, I'm swung out
Jonathon: I'll give you some money
Robbie: I don't need money
Jonathon: What about a cup of tea
Robbie: I'm not thirsty
Jonathon: I won't tell anyone you're gay.
Both Laugh
Before we get finished, we'll make the town roar
We'll hit all the late spots, and then a few more
We'll start out at Stringy's and maybe Groucho
Life is gonna be wow-wow-whee!
For my shadow and me!
