Mister Cellophane Lyrics

AMOS THROUGHOUT



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 



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. . . 



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
