Chicago (Movie) - 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

Should I bend 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

Should I bend 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....



Should I bend 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.
