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.

If the Scatman can do it so can you.

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.
