AMOS THROUGHOUT
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 a movie onyesha
Yelled "fired in the sekunde 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
Should have been my name !!!!
Mister cellophane
'cause wewe can look right through me
Walk right kwa me
And never know I'm there!
I tell ya
Cellophane
Mister cellophane
Should have been my name
Mister cellophane
'cause wewe can look right through me walk right kwa me
And never know I'm there. . .
Suppose wewe was a little cat
Residin' in a person's flat
Who fed wewe samaki and scratched your ears?
You'd notice him
Suppose wewe was a woman wed
And sleepin' in a double kitanda beside one man for seven years
You'd notice him
A human being's made of zaidi than air
With all that bulk, you're bound to see him there
Unless that human bein' inayofuata to wewe
Is unimpressive, undistinguished
wewe know who. . .
Should have been my name
Mister cellophane
'cause wewe can look right through me
Walk right kwa me
And never know I'm there
I tell ya

[VELMA]
While truckin' down the road of life, although all hope seems gone,
I just songesha on.
[ROXIE]
When I can't find a single nyota to hang my wish upon, I just songesha on,
I songesha on.
[VELMA]
I run so fast, a shotgun blast can hurt me not one bit.
[ROXIE]
I'm on my toes cause heaven knows a moving target's hard to hit.
[VELMA & ROXIE]
So as we play in life's ballet, we're not the dying swans, we just songesha on,
we songesha on.
[ROXIE]
Just when it seems we're out of dreams, and things have got us down.
[VELMA]
We don't despair, we don't go there, we hang our bonnets out of town.
[VELMA & ROXIE]
So there's no doubt we're well cut out to run life's marathon, we just songesha on,
we just songesha on.
So fleet of foot, we can't stay put, we just songesha on.
Yes, we songesha on!
