Lyrics:

Leiber-Stoller

Bwa-haa-haa!
You can hide down in the alley with your hat pulled over your eye.
You can wear a wig or moustache or any old disguise.
Well, you can change your name and your address, even change your style of clothes.
But the Shadow knows. The Shadow knows.

You thought you had me baffled, you thought I didn't know.
But I know where you goin', baby, long before you go.
You can't even snap your fingers or wiggle you toes.
Without the Shadow knows. The Shadow knows.

I say, "Baby, stop your jiving, and your messing round".
'Cause I know what you're putting, baby, long before you put it down.
You better mind your p's and q's, and your m's and n's and o's.
Because the Shadow knows. The Shadow knows.
Bwa-haa-haa! The Shadow knows...
