Lyric discussion by Tauro 

Wow. Scatman was a stutterer but he turned it into scatting. He said his greatest weakness became his greatest asset. That explains so much about his song, literally. The scat and the stutter are the same. As a matter of fact, don't let nothing hold you back; if the Scatman can do it, so can you.

And a little more vague: While you're sleeping the Angels are still weeping because things you call dead haven't had the chance yet to be born. I think he didn't believe he'd ever have a singing career. He declared it dead from the start. But then he made scatting, and before that he hadn't even let his singing career have a chance to be born.
