Frank Sinatra - Me And My Shadow 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 bloodhounds 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.

  25. K.... T....

    Sinatra, Bill Evans, and Kurt Cobain: the kings of the half-note.

    I’m guessing Sammy’s the shadow.







    I’ll accept my award for this racial remark in one parade and a standing ovation.

    T.... E....

    *Parades and Ovations ensue*

    T.... E....

    Yeah but they're both each other's shadow

  35. H.... ....

    I’ve never heard this song now I can’t stop listening to it

  36. A.... D....

    Oddly enough I can't hear because of Time Bandits the movie really this is where they got it from that's cool

  37. K.... o....

    2018!!!???

  38. J.... R....

    Well I do like Chill. It's Christmas time and foot ball still going on ain't it. You watch the game with your mates. Have some chips and salsa. Maby also some Nocho cheese dip, and a bowl of Chile. And some beers. I'm placeing my bet though that after the coin toss and the kick off, The first play is going to be a hail marry/BLITZ. YOU Feel me, they only thing though who won the coin toss, and did the team choose offence, or defence, well all I can say is the definition of insanity is to do the same thing and expect a different result. Hmm

  39. J.... R....

    Shit baby to bad that's not my gig.

  40. F.... B....

    I can see this music player for a bioshock trailer with the big daddy fighting splicers and using plasmids

  41. N.... T....

    Two legends from the rat pack! Thank you for posting this!

  42. S.... _....

    This would be a perfect fallout 76 trailer song (besides country roads) I absolutely love the rat pack!

  43. S.... L....

    *only person who came here from the binding of issac item my shadow*

  44. P.... N....

    I got the 45 rpm

  45. A.... M....

    U can say these Guys inspire me. Why? Because they reminded me that there’s really just one way to live. If you love what ya do, ya love life, and have plenty of friends. If ya ask me, that’s the only way to live.

  46. s.... 0....

    if they make a fallout 5 they should use this song in either the game or trailer
    and if anyone from Bethesda is reading this I have a question
    what is the expected date of fallout 5 or the first early trailer pls?

  47. T.... ....
