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!
