Song Lyrics

(Scatting by Scatman John)
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 they 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

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

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

John Larkin, Antonio Nunzio Catania
