Lyrics: John C. Reilly – Mister Cellophane
Album: Chicago
Artist: Soundtracks
 

Amos.
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 “fired 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
Invisisble, inconsequential me!

Cellophane
Mister cellophane
Should have been my name
Mister cellophane
’cause you can look right through me
Walk right by me
And vener 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

Supoose you was a woman wed
And sleepin’ in a double bed beside a man for seven years
You’d notice hime

A human being’s made of more thatn air
With all that bulk , you’re bound to see
him there

Unless that human bein’ next to y ou
Is unimpressive, undistingueshed
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’im 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
