Mister Cellophane

Lyrics

(dialog) I'm the father, papa, dad dad. Did you hear me? no you did'nt hear me. That's the story of my life, nobody notice I'm around, nobody Not even my parents noticed me. One day I went to school, and when I came home, they moved!
 Amos.
 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 "fired 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
 Should have 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
 Should have 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 that 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. . .
 Should have 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
 Should have 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
