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
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
