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
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 be pleasing in the politician heathens
Who would try to change the seasons if they could?
The state of the condition insults my intuitions
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'm letting nothing hold you back
If the Scatman can do it, brother, so can you
I'm the Scatman

As a matter of fact, I don't let nothing hold you back
If the Scatman can do it, so can you
I hear y'all ask 'bout the meaning of scat
Well, I'm the professor and all I can tell you is
While you're still sleeping, the saints are still weeping
'Cause things you called dead haven't yet had the chance to be born
I'm the Scatman

Tout le monde bégaye d'une manière ou d'une autre
Alors écoute mon message pour toi
En fait, je ne laisse rien te retenir
Si le Scatman peut le faire, toi aussi
Tout le monde dit que le Scatman bégaie
Mais il ne bégaie jamais quand il chante
Mais ce que tu ne sais pas, je vais te le dire tout de suite
C'est que le bégaiement et le scat, c'est la même chose, yo
Je suis le Scatman
Où est le Scatman ?
Je suis le Scatman
Pourquoi devrions-nous plaire aux politiciens
Qui essaieraient de changer les saisons s'ils le pouvaient ?
L'état de la condition insulte mes intuitions
Et ça me rend juste fou et le cœur comme du bois
Tout le monde bégaye d'une manière ou d'une autre
Alors écoute mon message pour toi
En fait, je ne laisse rien te retenir
Si le Scatman peut le faire, mon frère, toi aussi
