Scatman (ski-ba-bop-ba-dop-bop) ( lyrics ) Scatman John

I'm the Scatman
Ski-bi dibby dib yo da dub dub
Yo da dub dub
Ski-bi dibby dib yo da dub dub
Yo da dub dub
(I'm the Scatman)
Ski-bi dibby dib yo da dub dub
Yo da dub dub
Ski-bi dibby dib yo da dub dub
Yo da dub dub
Ba-da-ba-da-ba-be bop bop bodda bope
Bop ba bodda bope
Be bop ba bodda bope
Bop ba bodda
Ba-da-ba-da-ba-be bop ba bodda bope
Bop ba bodda bope
Be bop ba bodda bope
Bop ba bodda bope
Everybody stutters one way or the other
So check out my message to you
As a matter of fact, I 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
Where's the Scatman?
I'm the Scatman
Why should we be pleasin' all the politician heathens
Who would try to change the seasons if they could?
The state of the condition insults my intuition
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, don't let nothin' hold you back
If the Scatman can do it, brother, so can you
I'm the Scatman
Ba-da-ba-da-ba-be bop bop bodda bope
Bop ba bodda bope
Be bop ba bodda bope
Bop ba bodda
Ba-da-ba-da-ba-be bop ba bodda bope
Bop ba bodda bope
Be bop ba bodda bope
Bop ba bodda bope

Ski-bi dibby dib yo da dub dub
Yo da dub dub
Ski-bi dibby dib yo da dub dub
Yo da dub dub
Ski-bi dibby dib yo da dub dub
Yo da dub dub
Everybody stutters one way or the other
So check out my message to you
As a matter of fact, I don't let nothin' hold you back
If the Scatman can do it, so can you
I hear you all ask 'bout the meaning of scat
Well, I'm the professor and all I can tell you is
While you're still sleepin', the saints are still weepin' 'cause
Things you call dead haven't had the chance to be born
I'm the Scatman
Ba-da-ba-da-ba-be bop bop bodda bope

"saints are weeping cos the things you call dead havent had a chance to be born" is one of the realest things i've heard, every time i heard this song i'd just be wowed by how the verses get more meaningful. the goat 🙏🏾 RIP

[El_pouleto]

It's a shock for me to know that he's not here anymore... I don't know what come after life but I hope it's fine for him because he's really a legend to me. Rest in peace, king.

[redemptionmario]

I remember being addicted to this song back in 2011, since then one of my biggest goals in life was singing this song without mistakes, now thanks to your video i'm dominating the difficult scat parts xD

[sheathredgold]

What a banger may he rest in peace. 😭😭😭

John had a lot of talent!

[jiayojames]

Imagine being deaf and reading song lyrics and wondering why this one starts like someone just mashed their keyboard

[bornokification]

Eminem has been real silent ever since

[kainedakillerv]

I appreciate how you improvised the scat parts 😁

[GUCCI_NATION]

One of my favorite songs of all time. I Love It.❤️👍

[Rubiktor]

I tried singing this. My tounge split into 6 pieces.

[DarkerX]

Fun fact: Louis Armstrong Invented Scat.
Just to get out of any embarrassing moment!

[heroforanything]

This was a great song RIP scatman john

[elDesperado]

So this is where Skibidi originates from...

[j-ber]

This is the only guy who can beat rap god in a rab battle
