I say, oh misery, shame and scandal in the family
I say, oh misery, shame and scandal in the family

>In Trinidad, there was a family
Much confusion as you will see
It was a mama and a papa and a boy who was grown
He wanted to marry and have wife of his own
Found a young girl, who suited him nice
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

Oh, misery, shame and scandal in the family
Oh, misery, shame and scandal in the family

Then the weeks went by and the summer came 'round
Soon the best girl in the islands he found
He went to his papa, to make it a date
His papa shook his head and to him he did say
You can't marry that girl, I have to say no
'Cause that girl is your sister, but your mama don't know

Oh, misery, shame and scandal in the family
Oh, misery, it's shame and scandal in the family

Went to his mama, he covered his head
And told his mama, what his papa had said
His mama she laughed she says, 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, it's shame and scandal in the family...
