About the Artist
Lyrics
(spoken) Robbie: (american accent) Johnny and Robbie Jonathan: Youth, why are you you talking like that We're from Stoke! Robbie: I know, 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 No 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 gets 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 Haha when it's sleeping time That's when we rise We start to swing (Ooh, 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 up at Stringy's and maybe Groucho Life is gonna be wow-wow-wee! For my shadow and me! (spoken) Jonathan: Youth, that was ace! Can we do that again? Robbie: No, I'm too tired Jonathan: Oh, please Rob? Robbie: No, I'm swung out Jonathan: Oh, come on, I'll give you some money Robbie: I don't need money.. Jonathan: What 'bout a cup of tea? Robbie: I'm not thirsty Jonathan: I won't tell anybody you're gay! (Laughter, then HERE COMES THE TAG!) 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 Groucho Life is gonna be wow-wow-wee! For my shadow and me!
