Trini Lopez - Shame and Scandal In the Family lyrics

Woe is me, shame and scandal in the family Woe is 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 and have a wife of 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, woe is me, shame and scandal in the family Hey, woe is me, shame and scandal in the family A week went by and the summer came down And 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, I have to say no That girl is your aunty but your granny don't know Hey, woe is me, shame and scandal in the family Hey, woe is me, shame and scandal in the family Now, he went to his mama and covered his head He told his mama what his papa had said His mama, she laughed, she said, "Go man, go Your daddy ain't your daddy but your daddy don't know" Hey, woe is me, shame and scandal in the family Hey, woe is me, shame and scandal in the family Hey, worries, it worries me, shame and scandal in the family Hey, woe is me, shame and scandal in the family Hey, hey, woe is me, shame and scandal in the family Hey, hey, hey, woe is me, shame and scandal in the family
