John C Reilly Mr Cellophane Lyrics

Mr Cellophane 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'em.

If someone in the
movie show,
Yelled, "Fire in the second row,
This place is a powder
keg!"
You'd notice'em.

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,
Mr. Cellophane,
Should have been my name, Mr. Cellophane,
'Cause you can
look right through me,
Walk right by me,
And never know I'm there.
I
tell you, Cellophane,
Should have been my name, Mr. 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'em.

Suppose you was a woman wed,
Sleeping in a doble
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, Mr.
Cellophane.
'Cause you can look right through me,
Walk right by
me,
And never know I'm there.
I tell you, Cellophane, Mr.
Cellophane,
Should have been my name, Mr. Cellophane.
'Cause you can look
righ through me,
Walk right by me,
And never know I'm there.
Never even
know I'm there.
