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 Should've been my name Mister Cellophane 'Cause you can look right through me Walk right by me And never know I'm there
I tell you Cellophane Mister Cellophane Should've 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 Residing in a person's flat Who fed you fish and scratched your ears You'd notice him
Suppose you was a woman wed And sleeping 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...
...should've 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've 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...
(I hope I haven't taken up too much of your time.)
