Everybody stutters one way or the other
So check out my message to you.
As a matter of fact I do not 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 do not know I am going to tell you right now
That the stutter & the scat is the same thing.
Yo I am the Scatman.

Where is the Scatman? I am 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 & 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 am the Scatman.

I hear you all ask ´bout the meaning of scat.
Well I am the professor & all I can tell you is
While you are still sleepin´ the sain´ts are still weepin´ cause
Things you call dead haven´t yet had the chance to be born.
I am the Scatman.
