Thread Name: Lyr Req/Add: Me and My Shadow (Peter Pan, et al.)
Subject: Lyr Add: ME AND MY SHADOW (Rose, Jolson, Dreyer)
Is it this one?
This song has been recorded, sometimes in abridged form, by several artists in the past, including Perry Como, Frank Sinatra and Judy Garland. But in the future – three million years into the future – it is sung by the Cat in 'The End'. Thanks to Trace for sending me the rest of Billy Rose's 1927 lyrics, sung to music by Al Jolson and Dave Dreyer.
Me And My Shadow Music by Al Jolson and Dave Dreyer with lyrics by Billy Rose, 1927
Shades of night are falling and I'm lonely Standing on the corner feeling blue Sweethearts out for fun, pass me one by one Guess I'll wind up like I always do, with only
Me and my shadow Strolling down the avenue Me and my shadow Not another soul to tell our troubles to
And when it's twelve o'clock, we climb the stair We never knock, for 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 Me and my shadow Not another soul to tell our troubles to
And when it's twelve o'clock, we climb the stair We never knock, for nobody's there Just me and my shadow All alone and feeling blue
