Refrain:
 (Scatting by Scatman John)
 I'm calling out from Scatland
 I'm calling out from Scatman's World
 If you wanna break free you better listen to me.
 You got to learn how to see in your fantasy.

Refrain.

Everybody's talking' something very shockin' just to
Keep on blockin' what they're feelin' inside but 
Listen to me brother, you just keep on walking' `cause
You and me and sister ain't got nothin' to hide

Scatman, fat man, black and white and brown man
Tell me `bout the colour of your soul.
If part of your solution isn't ending the pollution
Then I don't want to hear your stories told.
I want to welcome you to Scatman's world

Refrain.

Everyone's born to complete as he chooses
But how can someone win of winning means that someone loses
I sit and see and wonder what it's like to be in touch.
No wonder all my brothers and my sisters need a crutch.

I want to be a human being not human no a human doing.
I couldn't keep that pace if I tried.
The source of my intention really isn't crime prevention.
My intention is of the lie (yeah)
Welcome to the Scatman's world

Refrain.

(Scatting by Scatman John)
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 so can you.

Everybody's sayin that the Scatman stutters
But doesen'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 politican healthens
Who would try to change the seasons if they could ?
The state of the condition insults ny intutions
And it only makes me crazy and my heart like wood.

Everybody stutters one way or the other...
... if the Scatman can do it brither so can you ...

Everybody stutters one way or the other...
... if the Scatman can do it brither so can you ...

I hear you all ask 'bout the meaning of scat.
Well I'm the professor and 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.
