You can hide down in the alley
With your hat pulled over your eyes
You can wear a wig or mustache
Or any old disguise
You can change your name an' 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're goin', baby
Long before you go
You can't even snap your fingers
Or wiggle your toes
Without the shadow knows
The shadow knows
Now baby, stop your jivin'
And your messin' 'round
Because I know what you're puttin'
Long before you put it down
You better mind your P's and Q's
And your M's an' N's an' O's
Because the shadow knows
The shadow knows
