Mister Cellophane.

Interprétée par John C. Reilly.

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.

I hope I haven’t taken up too much of your time.
