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 And if someone at a 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 next to you Is invisisble, and irresponsible, and inconceivable You know who 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 Or supoose 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 of course that human that you see is Is irresponsible and irreprehensible And you know that it's me... I tell ya Cellophane Mr. 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 And you will never know I'm there It's true... It's a true story
