Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr - Me and My Shadow

I do not own the rights to this song.

Lyrics

Like the wallpaper sticks to the wall
Like the seashore clings to the sea
Like you'll never get rid of your shadow
Frank, 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 play in a brook
Strolling down the avenue
Wherever you find him, you'll find me, just look
Closer than a miser or the bloodhound's to Liza
Me and my shadow
We're closer than smog when it clings to L.A.
We're closer than Bobby is to J.F.K.
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
Swing to the skies
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 make all the late spots, and then a few more
We'll wind up at Jilly's right after Toot's Shore
Life is gonna be we-wow-whee!
(Here comes the party!)
For my shadow and me!

Say Frank?
What is it, Sam?
Do me a favor?
What do you want, now?
Would you mind taking it, just one more time?
From the top?
No! From the ending!
Wonderful!

And while we are swinging, to mention a few
We'll drop in at Danny's, The Little Club too
But wind up at Jilly's, whatever we do
Life is gonna be we-wow-whee!
(Wow!)
For my shadow and me!

Frank?
Oh, forget it Sam.

I used to fix myself a strong gin & tonic and put this record on just before i went on a 3 day bender on my own. Those glorious debauched times; shared only by myself and the random gutterholes of London, suit stained in blood, mind slowly unravelling, the snaking lows, the fizzy rapturous highs, the women, the nosebleeds, the suffering, the solace... the good life.

It makes me sad that Youtube doesn't suggest this song until I type the w in shadow

[sudmalis100]

Nothin but pure talent and heart.

[bob2bobert2bobertson]

I love this song

[ChrsTist]

This music is and always will be great. REAL talent never dies. No autotune, editing, or electronic crap to cover your lack of talent just pure soul and passion.

0/10

[jengostengo2010]

But I guess in their time, frank and sammy were awesome. Probably equal to 10 justin beavers.

[jengostengo2010]

Wow the music really sucked back then, I could fart better music if you give me a few burritos

[Michael Correia]

in the 21st century we have had giant let downs in music, such a Bieber and dubstep. for some people there's nothing wrong with them but you cant deny that the old classics are the best. and i don't mean the bands that formed in 2001 i mean the real classics such as Sinatra and Davis jr. that's why most of the artist we have today wont be remembered like the classic singers were... fans of this music is a dying breed, i salute those of you who still love the classics.. :D

[arayagerardo]
