Lyrics

[00:17.00] If someone stood up in a crowd
[00:20.00] And raised his voice up way out loud
[00:23.00] And waved his arm and shook his leg
[00:26.00] You'd notice him
[00:29.00] If someone in a movie show
[00:31.00] Yelled, "Fired in the second row"
[00:34.00] "This whole place is a powder keg"
[00:37.00] You'd notice him
[00:41.00] And even without clucking like a hen
[00:45.00] Everyone gets noticed now and then
[00:49.00] Unless, of course that personage should be
[00:55.00] Invisible, inconsequential me
[01:06.00] Cellophane, Mister Cellophane
[01:12.00] Should have been my name
[01:15.00] Mister Cellophane
[01:18.00] 'Cause you can look right through me
[01:21.00] Walk right by me and never know I'm there
[01:28.00] I tell ya, Cellophane, Mister Cellophane
[01:35.00] Should have been my name, Mister Cellophane
[01:41.00] 'Cause you can look right through me walk right by me
[01:47.00] And never know I'm there
[01:59.00] Suppose you was a little cat
[02:01.00] Residin' in a person's flat
[02:03.00] Who fed you fish and scratched your ears?
[02:07.00] You'd notice him
[02:09.00] Suppose you was a woman wed
[02:11.00] And sleepin' in a double bed
[02:13.00] Beside one man for seven years
[02:17.00] You'd notice him
[02:20.00] A human being's made of more than air
[02:24.00] With all that bulk, you're bound to see him there
[02:28.00] Unless that human bein' next to you
[02:34.00] Is unimpressive, undistinguished
[02:39.00] You know who
[02:52.00] Should have been my name, Mister Cellophane
[02:57.00] 'Cause you can look right through me
[03:01.00] Walk right by me and never know I'm there
[03:07.00] I tell ya, Cellophane, Mister Cellophane
[03:14.00] Should have been my name
[03:18.00] Mister Cellophane
[03:20.00] 'Cause you can look right through me
[03:23.00] Walk right by me and never know I'm there
[03:32.00] Never even know I'm there
