[JOHN & GIRLS:] 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

Hey man, my name is Scatman John

[Scatting by Girls]
[JOHN:] Mary had a little lamb

Strange things can happen if you scat me a little

Scat me if you can

Scat me if you need me, cause I'm skee ap an doo dah
