Jack Smith - Me
And My Shadow - Lyrics 1927 - Whispering Jack Smith - Me And My Shadow |
Shades of night are falling and I'm lonely
Standing on the corner feeling blue.
Sweethearts out for fun
Pass me by one by one.
Guess I'll wind up like I always do
With only....
Me and my shadow
Strolling down the avenue.
Oh, me and my shadow
Not a soul to tell our troubles to.
And when it's twelve o'clock we climb the stairs
We never knock 'cause nobody's there
Just me and my shadow
All alone and feeling blue.
When the sun sets on the far horizon,
And the parlour lamps begin to glow
Jim and Jack and John
Put their slippers on.
They're all set but we're still on the go
So lonely....
Me and my shadow
Strolling down the avenue
Oh, me and my shadow
Not a soul to tell our troubles to.
And when it's twelve o'clock we climb the stairs
We never knock 'cause nobody's there
Just me and my shadow
All alone and feeling blue.
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!
For my shadow and me!
