Scatman's World
By Scatman John 


Imagine a land of love 


Where people have time to care 


Where everybody's equal 


And we all tell the truth 






If you're wondering where this magical place is 


You don't have to look too far 


You'll find it between your deepest dreams and warmest wishes 






The society of Scatland is composed of 


Very loving caring people who have 


Never even heard of political corruption 


Class distinction, war and all the 


Other stuff that goes on in the world of earth people. 


Everyone is equal in Scatland. 


Everyone is equal. Everyone is equal. 






We've got to believe in love - that's all there ever will be 


That's all there's ever been - for you and me. 






All people of Scatland are very childlike they have 


Had happy complete childhoods they were 


allowed to develop their imaginations to the fullest. 


There is only love and happiness in Scatland 


Hatred and resentment? 


Well that's unheard of. It's unheard of. 






We've got to believe in love - that's all there ever will be 


That's all there's ever been - for you and me 






I wonder if you're wondering where Scatland is? 


It isn't far away. I'll take you there now. 


Just close your eyes, make a wish, give yourself a hug. 


You're half-way there, just love yourself - love yourself 


And a dream will come true. You'll find yourself in Scatland 


And suddenly discover that the person from Scatland is you. 






The people of Scatland speak in Scatish 


Scatish is a language not quite like a leprechaun 


It sounds like a language of the people of earth 


Who speak in a tongue of their own. 


You're all from Scatland. Hatred and resentment? 


Well that's unheard of. It's unheard of. 






We've got to believe in love - that's all there ever will be 


That's all there's ever been - for you and me. 


We've got to believe in love - that's all there ever will be 


That's all there's ever been - for you and me. 






This is a brand new day know what I say, 


Love is understanding. 


Believe me believe me believe me. 






We've got to believe in love - that's all there ever will be 


That's all there's ever been - for you and me. 






(Scatting by Scatman John) 






I want to thank you all for joining 


In celebration of the world of 


Scatland...goodnight
