We're closer than ripples that play in a brook
I dunno, but I can't stop here, pally
Closer than pages that stick in a book
We'll start out at Stringy's and maybe Groucho
You'll never get rid of me
We stick together like glue
Closer than a miser or the bloodhounds to Liza
We'll hit a few late spots and then a few more
They ring-a-ding-ding, Happy New Year
Not a soul can bust this team in two
Before we get finished, we'll make the town roar
We'll start out at Stringy's and maybe Groucho
Oh, please Rob, no, I'm swung out
Our clocks don't chime, what a surprise
(Strolling down the avenue, oh)
I'll give you some money, I don't need money
And when it's sleeping time that's when we rise
Oh, like the seashore clings to the sea
Closer than smog is to all of L.A.
Like the wallpaper sticks to the wall
Life is gonna be wow, wow, whee for my shadow and me
(Me and my shadow)
Before we get finished, we'll make the town roar
What about a cup of tea? I'm not thirsty
And now to repeat what I said at the start
We're alone but far from blue
We'll hit a few late spots and then a few more
Closer than Ricky to confessing he's gay
Let all the others fight and fuss
Wherever you find him, you'll find me, just look
I won't tell anyone you're gay
(Me and my shadow)
Whatever happens, we've got us
We start to swing, oh, you think you're so jazz, you
You'll need a large crowbar to break us apart
Like you'll never get rid of your shadow
(Me and my shadow)
Can we do that again? No, I'm too tired
