Mister Cellophane

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 ked!'
You'd notice him.

And even without clocking like a hen,
Everyone gets noticed now and then.
Unless, of course, that person it 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 you, 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,
Residing in a person's flat
Who fed you fish and scratched your ears -
You'd notice him.
Suppose you was a women 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 being 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 you, Cellophane, Mister Cellophane,
Should have been my name,
Mister Cellophane,
'Cause you can walk right by me,
Look right through 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)
