Shame And Scandal

I said oh misery,

Shame and scandal in the family

I said oh misery,

Shame and scandal in the family

Down in Trinidad there was a family

With much confusion you'll see

A mamma and a papa and a boy who was grown

He wanted to marry

And have a wife of his own

He found a girl that suited him nice

He went to his father and asked his advice

His father said son

I have to say no

The girl is you sister

But your mamma don't know

I said oh misery,

Shame and scandal in the family

I said oh misery,

Shame and scandal in the family

Oh and a week went by

And the summer came down

Soon on the best girl on the island he'd found

He went to his father to make a date

His father shook his head and said

You can't marry that girl

I have to say no

Cause the girl is your sister but your mamma don't know

I said oh misery,

Shame and scandal in the family

I said oh misery,

Shame and scandal in the family

He went to his mamma he covered his head

He told his Mum what his father had said

His mamma just laughed and said go man go

Your daddy ain't your daddy but your daddy don't know

I said oh misery,

Shame and scandal in the family

I said oh misery,

Shame and scandal in the family

I said oh misery,

Shame and scandal in the family

I said oh misery,

Shame and scandal in the family
