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 |
