[Robbie] Johnny and Robbie
[Jonathon] What you talking like that for, you're from Stoke!
[Robbie] I dunno but I can't stop here pally
Like the wallpaper sticks to the wall
Like the seashore 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
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 him, you'll find me, just look
Closer than a miser or the bloodhounds to Liza
Me and my shadow
We're closer than smog is 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
(You think you're so jazz, you!)
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 finished, we'll make the town roar
We'll hit a few late spots,
And then a few more
We'll start off at Stringy's and maybe grab show
Life is gonna be we-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] Oh, come on, 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 anybody 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 grab show
Life is gonna be we-wow-whee!
For my shadow and me!
