I'm A Scatman (Ski Ba Bop Ba Dop Bop) Lyrics
Scatman John
Lyrics
Ski bi di bi di do bap do bap
Do ba do bap
Everybody stutters one day 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 says that the scatman stutters
But doesn't ever stutters 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
The scatman, I'm the scatman
Why should we be pleasin in all the politician heathens who would
Try to change the seasons if they could
The state of the condition
Insults my institutions
And it only makes me crazy and my heart like wood
Everybody stutters one day 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 stutters one day 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
I hear you ask all about the meaning of scat
Well I am the professor and all I can tell you
Is while you're still sleeping
Saints are still weeping
Cause things you call dead haven't yet the chance to be born
I'm the scatman.
Repeat after me
It's a scoobie oobie doobie scoobie doobie melody
Sing along with me
It's a scoobie oobie doobie scoobie doobie melody
