Shame And Scandal

Lyrics

Woe is me
 Shame and scandal in the family!
 Woe, it worries me
 Shame and scandal in the family!
 In Trinidad there was a family
 With much confusion as you will see
 There was a mama and a papa and a boy who was grown
 He wanted to marry a wife by his own
 He met a young girl, who suited him nice
 He went to his papa to ask his advice
 His papa said, ‽Son, I have to say no
 That girl is your sister but your Mama don't know!"
 Hey, worries is me
 Shame and scandal in the family, hey!
 Woe, it worries me
 Shame and scandal in the family!
 Brrr, jap!
 A week went by, the summer came down
 Soon another girl on the island he found
 He went to his Papa to name the day
 His papa shook his head and this time he did say
 You can't marry this girl, have to say no
 That girl is your aunty
 But your granny don't know! Hey!
 Woe, it worries me
 Shame and scandal in the family, hey!
 Woe, it worries me
 Shame and scandal in the family!
 Hui, hui!
 Now he went to his mama, covered his head
 And told his mama what his papa had said
 His mama, she laughed, she said, ‽Go, son, go!
 Your daddy ain't your daddy but your daddy don't know!"
 Woe, it worries me
 Shame and scandal in the family, hey!
 Woe, it worries me
 Shame and scandal in the family!
 You know it, Woe, it worries me?
 Shame and scandal in the family!
 Shame and scandal in the family!
