lyrics

Tom: Tom & Georgey
George: You’re not American, you’re northern!
Tom: Oi that’s racist that is…

T. Like the wallpaper sticks to the wall
G. Like the seashore clings to the sea
T. Like you'll never get rid of your shadow
G. You'll never get rid of me

T. Let all the others fight and fuss
Whatever happens, we've got us

T. (Me and my shadow)
G. We're closer than Trump is to building a wall
G. Expecting the Mexicans to pay for it all
T. (Strolling down the avenue)
G. It might be because his hands are really so small…
G. Closer than Korea is to going Nuclear

G. (Me and my shadow)
T. We’re closer than Boris, to Theresa May
T. We're closer than George is to confessing he's gay
Not a soul can bust this team in two
We stick together like glue

T. when it's sleeping time
G. That's when we rise
T. We start to swing
G. (You’re king of the swingers you are mate)
T. Our clocks don't chime
G. What a surprise
They ring-a-ding-ding!
Happy New Year!

T. (Me and my shadow)
G. And now we’ve got Brexit, to tear us apart
G. But we’ll stick together, you’re safe in my heart
T. We're alone outside the EU
G. (single market we’ll miss you)

Before we get finished, we'll make the town roar
G. We'll hit a few late spots, and then a few more
T. Like Venue?
We'll start up in New Cross then go to Soho
Life is gonna be wow-wow-wee!
For my shadow and me!

(spoken)
T. Get in there my son!
G. Tom…
T. What?
G. D’you think we could do it again?
T. No mate, you’re not paying me enough
G. I’m not paying you anything
T. I’m not doing it then
G. Come on… I won’t tell the Mrs you’re gay…

(Laughter)

Before we get finished, we'll make the town roar
We'll hit all the late spots, and then a few more
(Ronnie Scotts?) (G-A-Y)
We'll start out in New Cross, then go to SoHo
Life is gonna be wow-wow-wee!
For my shadow and me!
