Billy Joel Mr Cellophane (chicago Soundtrack) Lyrics

Mr Cellophane (chicago Soundtrack) Lyrics

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
