Well here we are, amigo!
M Hehe, Looking good
A laughing
M You're gonna start us off?
A Absolutely
A Like the wallpaper sticks to the wall
M Like the seashore clings to the sea
A Like you'll never get rid of your shadow
You'll never get rid of me!
B Let all the others fight and fuss
Whatever happens, we've got us.
M Me and my shadow (overlapping Antonio on..)
A We're closer than pages that stick in a book
We're closer than ripples that flow in a brook
M Strolling down the Avenue (still overlapping)
A Wherever you find him, you'll find me, just look
Closer than a miser on the bloodhounds to Liza
A Me and my shadow (now overlapping Michael)
M We're closer than smog clings to L. A.
We're closer than R.... decay
B Not a soul can bust this team in two
We stick together like glue
M And when it's sleeping time
A That's when we rise
M We start to swing
A Till to disguise
M Our clocks don't chime
A What a surprise
B It does ring-a-ding-ding
Happy New Year!
M Me and my shadow (overlapping)
A And now to repeat what I said at the start
They'll need a large crowbar to break us apart
B We're alone but far from blue
B Before we get finished, we'll make the town roar
We'll hit a few late spots, and then a few more
We'll find us at ??? and at the ????
Life is gonna be we-we-wow-whee!
For my shadow and me!
M Hey (laughing)
A Miguel, Miguel
M What is it, mate?
A Do me a favour!
M What do you want now?
A Taking you just one more time?
M On the top?
A Yeah, but this time in Spanish
M ¡Oh! ¡Perfecto!
B Ante este final la ciudad estallará
Daremos la nota por aquí y allá
Queremos (...) sólo para triunfar
Nuestra vida será un gran festín
Para mí, mi sombra a mí.
