Everybody stutters one way or the other
So check out my message to you
As a matter of fact
Don't let nothing hold you back
If the Scatman can do it
So can you
Everybody's saying 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 pleasing any politician heathens
Who would try to change the seasons if they could?
The state of the condition insults my intuition
And it only makes me crazy
And a heart like wood
Everybody stutters one way or the other
So check out my message to you
As a matter of fact
I don't let nothing hold you back
If the Scatman can do it
So can you
I'm the Scatman
