| If someone stood up in a crowd | |
| And raised their voice up way out loud | |
| And waved their 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 personage should be | |
| Invisible, inconsequential me | |
| Cellophane, Mr. Cellophane shoulda 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 shoulda 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 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 | |
| Cellophane, Mr. Cellophane shoulda 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 shoulda 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 | |
| Hope I didn't take up too much of your time |
