Song of Scatland

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

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]
