Shame and Scandal

I say, oh, misery
 Shame and scandal in the family
 Oh, misery
 Shame and scandal in the family
 Down in Trinidad there was a family
 With much confusion, as you will see
 A mama, and a papa, and a boy who was grown
 He wanted to marry and have a wife of his own
 He found a girl, she suited him nice
 He went to his father to ask his advice
 His father said, "Son, I have to say no
 The girl is your sister, but your mama don't know"
 Oh, misery
 Shame and scandal in the family
 I say, oh, misery
 Shame and scandal in the family
 Then a week went by and the summer came down
 Soon the best girl on the island he found
 He went to his papa to make it a date
 His papa shook his head and to this he did say
 "You can't marry that girl, I have to say no
 'Cause the girl is your sister, but your mama don't know"
 Oh, misery
 Shame and scandal in the family
 I say, oh, misery
 It's shame and scandal in the family
 ♪
 He went to his mama, he covered his head
 He told his mum what his father had said
 His mother, she laughed, she said, "Go man, go
 Your daddy ain't your daddy, but your daddy don't know"
 Oh, misery
 It's shame and scandal in the family
 Oh, misery
 Shame and scandal in the family
 I say, oh, misery
 Shame and scandal in the family
 I say, oh, misery
 Shame and scandal in the family
