Lyrics Mr. Cellophane

I'm the father papa, dad dad
Did you hear me?
No you didn't hear me
That's the story of my life nobody ever notice
I'm around, nobody
Not even my parents noticed me
One day I went to school and when I came home they've moved
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 personage should be
Invisible inconsequential me
Cellophane
Mister Cellophane
Shoulda been my name
Mister Cellophane
'Cos you can look right through me
Walk right by me and never know I'm there
I tell ya Cellophane
Mister Cellophane
Shoulda been my name
Mister Cellophane
'Cos you can walk 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
Shoulda been my name
Mister Cellophane
'Cos you can look right through me
Walk right by me and never know I'm there
I tell ya Cellophane
Mister Cellophane
Shoulda been my name
Mister Cellophane
'Cos 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
