Me And My Shadow

Robbie Williams


Me And My Shadow


(duet with Jonathan Wilkes)
Written by Dave Dreyer, Al Jolson and Billy Rose

[spoken]
Robbie: (american accent) 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 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 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 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 finished, we'll make the town roar
We'll hit a few late spots, and 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: 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: Not thirsty
Jonathon: I'll 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 wind up at Stringy's and maybe ? show
Life is gonna be we-wow-whee!
For my shadow and me!
