Mister Cellophane Lyrics - Singles - Chicago Soundtrack

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 a 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 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 

Suppoose 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 

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 I bend 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
