Ran to Penn Station and made my train
Immediately fell asleep until I heard
The conductor say: "Next stop Where-it's-Atsville."
Sunlight on the Hudson an amber glow
Like "Crepuscule with Nellie" dialed down low
When I reached my stop
The platform sign said: "Scatsville."
I said: "Wait!" and I turned around
But the doors were closed and the train was gone
And I thought: "This ain't
Where-I-hang-my-hatsville."
And the question I asked of each passerby
Was met with the same singsong reply"
"Jack, you are now in Scatsville."e
Barari badudap badu da du rap dap barideru dap para
duvi duvi yaru viyaru rap pappappara pappo wow wow
Barari badudap badu da du rap dap barideru dap para
duvi duvi yaru viyaru rap pappappara pappo
It's the language of madmen
When you talk through your hat
My eleventh Commandment's:
Thou Shalt Not Scat
Thou Shalt Not Scat
Mr. Feather sighed and he seemed depressed
When I complained of scat on my Blindfold Test
So how
How'd I get to Scatsville?
Like every saxophonist who plays bop
It's a little habit that's hard to stop
One day you find yourself in Scatsville
you find yourself in Scatsville
Barari badudap badu da du rap dap barideru dap para
duvi duvi yaru viyaru rap pappappara pappo wow wow
Barari badudap badu da du rap dap barideru dap para
duvi duvi yaru viyaru rap pappappara pappo
you find yourself in Scatsville
With all the cats in scatsville
