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, 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 ya, 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


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 a 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, Mr. Cellophane

'Cause you can look right through me

Walk right by me and never know I'm there


I tell ya, 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

Never even know I'm there
