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...
