Mr. Cellophane

Lyrics

If someone stood up in a crowd
 And raised his voice up way out loud
 And waved his arm and shook his leg
 You'd notice him
 If someone in the movie show
 Yelled "Fire in the second row
 This whole place is a powder keg!"
 You'd notice him
 And even without clucking like a hen
 Everyone gets noticed, now and then,
 Unless, of course, that personage should be
 Invisible, inconsequential me!
 Cellophane
 Mister Cellophane
 Shoulda been my name
 Mister Cellophane
 'Cause you can look right through me
 Walk right by me
 And never know I'm there...
 I tell ya
 Cellophane
 Mister Cellophane
 Shoulda been my name
 Mister Cellophane
 'Cause you can look right through me
 Walk right by me
 And never know I'm there...
 Suppose you was a little cat
 Residin' in a person's flat
 Who fed you fish and scratched your ears?
 You'd notice him
 Suppose you was a woman, wed
 And sleepin' in a double bed
 Beside one man, for seven years
 You'd notice him
 A human being's made of more than air
 With all that bulk, you're bound to see him there
 Unless that human bein' next to you
 Is unimpressive, undistinguished
 You know who...
 Cellophane
 Mister Cellophane
 Shoulda been my name
 Mister Cellophane
 'Cause you can look right through me
 Walk right by me
 And never know I'm there...
 I tell ya
 Cellophane
 Mister Cellophane
 Shoulda been my name
 Mister Cellophane
 'Cause you can look right through me
 Walk right by me
 And never know I'm there
 Never even know I'm there.
 Hope I didn't take up too much of your time.
