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
Shoulda been
my name
Mister Cellophane
'Cos 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
'Cos you can look
right through me
Walk right by me
And never know
I'm there...
Amos my name
is Amos
What kid?
Well well that don't
figure out right I
couldn't be the father
You're damn right
that's what I'll do
I'll divorce her
She probably won't
even notice
Yeah I'm still here
I think
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...
Shoulda been
my name
Mister Cellophane
'Cos 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
'Cos 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 didn't
take up too much
of your time
