John Paul Larkin (March 13, 1942 — December 3, 1999), better known as Scatman John (sometimes credited as Scatman internationally), was a famous American stuttering jazz musician who created a unique fusion of scat singing and House music, best known for his 1994 hit "Scatman (Ski Ba Bop Ba Dop Bop)". As he liked to say, this was a process of "turning my biggest problem into my biggest asset." He has sold millions of recordings world-wide and was also named "Best New Artist" in the Echo Awards in both Japan and Germany. He was a recipient of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association's Annie Glenn Award for outstanding service to the stuttering community and was inducted into the United States National Stuttering Association Hall of Fame.

Scatting by Scatman John)

I'm the Scatman

(Scatting by Scatman John)

I'm the Scatman

(Scatting by Scatman John)

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.

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 the could?

The state of the condition insults my intuitions

And it only makes me crazy and my 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.

(Scatting by Scatman John)

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.

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 yet had the chance to be born.

I'm the Scatman.

(Scatting by Scatman John)

I'm the Scatman....repeat after me

It's a scoobie oobie doobie scoobie doobie melody

I'm the Scatman....repeat after me

It's a scoobie oobie doobie scoobie doobie melody

(Scatting by Scatman John
