The ninth song from the movie adaption of the musical Chicago, in which Amos laments about being invisible, unheard and underestimated.

Mister Cellophane Lyrics

[AMOS]
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
Cause 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
Cause you can look right through me, walk right by me
And never know I'm there

Suppose you was a little cat
Residing in a person's flat
Who fed you fish and scratched your ears
You'd notice him
Suppose you was a woman, wed
And sleeping 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 being next to you
Is unimpressive, undistinguished, you-know-who

Shoulda been 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
Shoulda been my name, Mister Cellophane
Cause you can look right through me, walk right by me
And never know I'm there

Never even know I'm there
(spoken)
I hope I haven't taken up too much of your time
