I'm the Scatman
     
(Scatting by Scatman John)     
     
I'm the Scatman
     
(Scatting by Scatman John)     
     
Everybody stutters one way or the other     
So check out my message to you.     
As a matter of fact don't let nothin' hold you back.     
If the Scatman can do it so can you.         

Everybody's sayin' that the Scatman stutters     
But doesn't ever stutter when he sings.     
But what you don't know I'm gonna tell you right now     
That the stutter and the scat is the same thing.     
Yo I'm the Scatman.     
     
Where's the Scatman? I'm the Scatman.

Why should we be pleasin' all the politician heathens     
Who would try to change the seasons if the could?     
The state of the condition insults my intuitions     
And it only makes me crazy and my heart like wood.     
     
Everybody stutters one way or the other     
So check out my message to you.     
As a matter of fact don't let nothin' hold you back.     
If the Scatman can do it brother so can you.     
I'm the Scatman.     
     
(Scatting by Scatman John)    

Everybody stutters one way or the other     
So check out my message to you.     
As a matter of fact don't let nothin' hold you back.     
If the Scatman can do it brother so can you.     

I'm the Scatman.

I hear you all ask 'bout the meaning of scat.     
Well I'm the professor and all I can tell you is     
While you're still sleepin' the saints are still weepin' cause     
Things you call dead haven't yet had the chance to be born.     

I'm the Scatman.     
     
(Scatting by Scatman John)     

I'm the Scatman....repeat after me     
It's a scoobie oobie doobie scoobie doobie melody     
I'm the Scatman....repeat after me     
It's a scoobie oobie doobie scoobie doobie melody
