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 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
