Somebody to show you, me and a girl to our places (5)

I believe the answer is:

usher

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'somebody' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'you me and a girl to our places' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'you' could be 'u' (commonly used in online communication) and 'u' is found within the answer.
'girl' could be 'sher' and 'sher' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'to show' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for usher that I've seen before include "Doorkeeper in parliament or 29 down" , "R and B star" , "may be match participant" , "Doorkeeper, escort" , "One who shows people to seats" .)
