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 ?????
  
  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.
