SHAME AND SCANDAL

CHORUS: WOE IS ME, SHAME AND SCANDAL IN THE FAMILY (REPEAT)

IN TRINIDAD, THERE WAS A FAMILY
WITH  MUCH CONFUSION AS YOU WILL SEE
THERE WAS A MAMA, AND A PAPA, A SON WHO HAD GROWN
HE WANTED TO MARRY, HAVE A WIFE OF HIS OWN
HE FOUND HIM A GIRL, SHE SUITED HIM NICE
SO HE GO OUT TO HIS PAPA, HE ASK HIS ADVICE
HIS PAPA SAY SON, I GOT TO SAY NO
THIS GIRL IS YOUR SISTER, YOUR MAMA DON'T KNOW

CHORUS: WOE IS ME, SHAME AND SCANDAL IN THE FAMILY (REPEAT)

A WEEK WENT BY, SUMMER CAME ROUND
SOON THE BEST COOK ON THE WHOLE ISLAND HE FOUND
HE GO OUT TO HIS PAPA, TO SET HIM A DAY
NOW HERE'S WHAT TO HIM, HIS PAPA DID SAY
YOU CAN'T MARRY THIS GIRL, I GOTTA SAY NO
THIS GIRL IS YOUR SISTER, YOUR MAMA DON'T KNOW

CHORUS:
INTRO:
NOW HE GO TO HIS MAMA,  HE COVERED HIS HEAD
HE TOLD HIS MAMA WHAT PAPA HAD SAID
MAMA, SHE LAUGHED, SHE SAY GO MAN GO
YOUR DADDY AIN'T YOUR DADDY, BUT YOUR DADDY DON'T KNOW.

CHORUS:
  REPEAT THE CHORUS
