Chicago – 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
Shoulda been 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
Shoulda been 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....

Shoulda 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 was there

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

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