Mr. Cellophane

In the style of

Chicago (Broadway Version)

Lyrics

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
