Karaoké Shame & Scandal Madness

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 the weeks 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 'cos 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

Oh he went to his mama

He covered his head

He told his mom 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

Yeah oh ho ho ho misery

Shame and scandal in the family

I say Oh ho ho ho misery hee hee

Shame and scandal in the family

I say Oh misery

It's shame and scandal in the family
