[Verse 1]
[C]Everybody stutters one way or the other
So [Em]check out my message to you
As a [D]matter of fact
I don't let nothin' nothin' hold you back
If the Scatman can do it so can you
[C]Everybody's sayin' that the Scatman stutters
But [Em]doesn't ever stutter when he sings
But [D]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 [C]Scatman[Em]
Where's the [D]Scatman?

[Verse 2]
I'm the Scatman
[C]Why should we be pleasin'
all the politician heathens
Who would [Em]try
to change the seasons if the could?
The [D]state of the condition
insults my intuitions
And it only makes me crazy
and my heart like wood
[C]Everybody stutters one way or the other
So [Em]check out my message to you
As a [D]matter of fact
I don't let nothin' hold you back
If the Scatman can do it brother so can you

[Verse 3]
[C]Everybody stutters one way or the other
So [Em]check out my message to you
As a [D]matter of fact
I don't let nothin' hold you back
If the Scatman can do it brother so can you
I'm the Scatman
I [C]hear you all ask 'bout the meaning of scat
Well [Em]I'm the professor and all I can tell you
Is [D]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 [C]Scatman
Sing a[Em]long with me
It's a [D]scoobie oobie doobie
scoobie doobie melody
