Song of Scatland

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.
