Chicago (movie) Mister Cellophane Lyrics

Mister Cellophane Lyrics

[spoken]



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 keg!"



You'd notice him







And even without clucking like a hen.



Everyone gets noticed now and then



Unless of course that person it should be



Invisible, inconsequential me....







CHORUS



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 was 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 was there







[spoken]



Suppose you was a little cat residing in a persons flat



who fed you fish and scratched your ears.



You'd notice him



Suppose you was a woman wed been sleeping in in a double bed



beside one man for seven years.



You'd notice him.







A human being is made of more than air.



With all that bulk your bound to see him there.



Unless that human being next to you is...



Unimpressive, undistinguished you.



No, who....







Should I bend 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 was there







Never even know.....I'm there







[spoken]



I hope I haven't taken up to much of your time.
