Scat me if you can
Scat me if you can
Scat me if you want me, you can catch me if you can
Scat me if you need me, I'm the only Scatman
Scat me if you want me, you can catch me if you can
Scat me if you need me, 'cause I'm skee ap an doo dah
(Scatting)
Diddle diddle dumpling my son John
(Scatting)
He went to bed with his trousers on
(Scatting)
A one shoe off and one shoe on
Hey man, my name is Scatman John
(Scatting)
Mary had a little lamb
(Scatting)
She got it one day singin' in my band
(Scatting)
Hey diddle diddle and the cat had a fiddle
Strange things can happen if you scat me a little
Scat me if you can
Scat me if you can
Scat me!
(Scatting)
Scat me if you want me, you can catch me if you can
Scat me if you need me, I'm the only Scatman
Scat me if you want me, you can catch me if you can
Scat me if you need me, 'cause I'm skee ap an doo dah
Scat me if you can
Scat me if you can
Scat me!
(Scatting)
(Scatting)
Diddle diddle dumpling my son John
(Scatting)
He went to bed with his trousers on
(Scatting)
A one shoe off and one shoe on
Diddle diddle dumpling, my name is Scatman John
Scat me if you want me, you can catch me if you can
Scat me if you need me, I'm the only Scatman
Scat me if you want me, you can catch me if you can
Scat me if you need me, 'cause I'm skee ap an doo dah
Scat me if you want me, you can catch me if you can
Scat me if you need me, I'm the only Scatman
Scat me if you want me, you can catch me if you can
Scat me if you need me, 'cause I'm skee ap an doo dah
Scat me if you can
Scat me if you can
Scat me if you can
Scat me if you want me, you can catch me if you can
Scat me if you need me, I'm the only Scatman
Scat me if you want me, you can catch me if you can
Scat me if you need me, 'cause I'm skee ap an doo dah
Scat me if you want me, you can catch me if you can
