Cellophane, Mister Cellophane

I enjoy the Broadway musical  Chicago.   In a previous blug I mentioned the song Politics and Poker from the musical Fiorello.  I like that song too.

Here are lyrics to one of my favorites from  Chicago  (website at bottom)

The Original Broadway Production Chicago the Musical - Song:   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
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
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
Never even know I'm there.


Hope I didn't take up too much of your time.
