Mister Cellophane Lyrics
AMOS THROUGHOUTIf 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 himIf someone in a movie show
Yelled "fired in the second row,
This whole place is a powder keg!"
You'd notice himAnd 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 himSuppose you was a woman wed
And sleepin' in a double bed beside one man for seven years
You'd notice himA human being's made of more than air
With all that bulk, you're bound to see him thereUnless 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
