My Shadow is a Giant
My shadow is a giant,
He’s really rather tall
My shadow is a giant,
And yet I’m rather small
My shadow is a giant,
He comes everywhere with me,
My shadow’s getting on a bit,
I think he’s thirty-three
My shadow is a giant,
And everywhere we go,
My shadow will protect me
From the bullies - fee-fi-fo !
My shadow is a giant,
And I think I’ll take him home
With my shadow standing by my side,
I shall never feel alone
He’s really rather tall
My shadow is a giant,
And yet I’m rather small
My shadow is a giant,
He comes everywhere with me,
My shadow’s getting on a bit,
I think he’s thirty-three
My shadow is a giant,
And everywhere we go,
My shadow will protect me
From the bullies - fee-fi-fo !
My shadow is a giant,
And I think I’ll take him home
With my shadow standing by my side,
I shall never feel alone
