Song of Scatland Songtext

von 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,
(Scatting by Scatman John)
Love is understanding.
(Scatting by Scatman John)
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)

We've got to believe in love

(Scatting by Scatman John)

For you and me.

I want to thank you all for joining
In celebration of the world of
Scatland...goodnight
